2000 Toyota Celica GT

Just did a heater core replacement, and now my A.C.
Doesn't work except when it is set to defrost. And since the replacement water not antifreeze has been leaking all over my passenger carpet. Enough to cause a puddle. I double checked that it isn't the heater core. I took the dash back off and there is water surrounding the Evaporator core. Is there anyway to get ac back on?

The ac led does not light up when the button is pressed nor does the ac kick on, except only with the defrost setting on.

I drove from Augusta GA to Cape May NJ with it leaking but cold air from the defrost. I am selling the xar to my brother and flying back. I am thinking I will need a new evap core but I noticed I left the screws out from where the ac pipes connect to the black heat/cold air box.

Please help.
Thank you

The Ac light does not turn on either with the defrost mode.

Update:

So I reapplied the screws that hold the plate on to the black center air box where the AC lines go in. which stopped some water from draining into the passenger carpet.

I tried going to a junkyard and snatching anything that might fix the problem but I couldn't get to the right area with how each of the 2 Celica's were damaged.

Solution:

When I got back to the Celica I stuck the stereo antenna through the drain tube as a last ditch effort and it unclogged the drain tube and now the A/C works beautifully.

Now on to find me a 7th Gen Celica GTS so I can have a Celica back.

Thanks,
