Default Lots of condensation from AC.... help?

So finally after owning my 1994 Audi Cabriolet for 6 years I got the AC recharged. So now the AC pushes somewhat cold Air, but the main issue is all the Condensation that builds up. Here is what I mean, so I drove home from campus which is roughly 2 hours with the AC on full blast and when I arrived home I noticed that both the driver side and passenger side carpets were soaked and when I inspected it further I found that all had poured out from behind the bottom of the dash by wear the dash meets carpet. Does anyone know what could be the issue? Another thing is now that I have recharged my AC I have noticed that more cold air flows out if I have the ac coming out of the defrost vents under the front windshield than if I have the ac coming out of the driver, passenger, and center vent. Is this normal for it to be such under powered when blowing ac from the front vents(kind of a stupid question)?

2 things i can think of:
1: your drain holes for the AC are blocked (i dont remember where underneath the car they are) but you would have to stick a coat hanger thru them and unblock them
2: your heater core has gone out

This happened to me last week.

The hose is on the firewall on the passenger side. I ended up having to take a bunch of stuff apart to get at it. I finally unclogged it and about a gallon of water came out

Search here and you'll find more info

The drain hose terminates right on top of the passenger transmission mount.
You might notice this mount is 4x as rusted as the drivers side due to this fact.
If you have a wet/dry vac and a nozzle for inflating items you could try to create enough vacuum to pull whatever is clogging it out.
