Is there anyway to get in there without removing the entire assemble from under the dash?



No.

Or would it be possible to do the old cut a hole trick as seen on the full size AC trucks?



Only if you want to, but why would you just not do it right? Also, where the drain is, it is inaccesable from the passenger compartment---I believe the evaporator blocks the way to get it from that end.

I have cleared the drain on vehicles by taking a piece of stiff wire and just bend the tip over---like a dental pick. Then just carefully go in the drain a bit and pull it out. It should drag the trash with it.


Not sure how close the first gen dash is to the second gen, but on my Gen II 1996, you can remove the lower pass side dash and manage to get the box out. It only saves a few more steps than actually unbolting the dash, but to each their own I guess.
