My AC unit has drain nipples on both sides, however only one side is hooked up, the other is making a puddle on the floor. Did the factory cap off one side, or have hoses going to both? This vehicle is RHD if that matters.

I would put a "T" in the drain line and connect it up to the other drain with a 90* fitting. Taking care to have that new drain line to slope down to the "T" at least a little.
I Run a vintage AC. Single drain, but I run it to the fuel pump, keeps the ethanol lace fuel from vapor locking in the fuel pump.
To answer your question, I would also run a tee, drain from both ends.

While it's NLA the diagram I see shows a pipe with a T.
Yes it’s just a T piece to connect the both sides in to one hose. I can grab a photo for you as I have a couple here. I’ll just have to find it as I’ve been moving garages and all my parts are in unlabelled boxes, so I hope you’re not in a rush!

A picture would be great. The diagram really just shows there is a T. Definitely not enough bends shown in the diagram.

I wonder if someone messed with mine, I have one line draining through the floor, and one through the firewall, all with a Y fitting. Maybe someone drilled a hole in the floor, or is this oem? It's a 1981.
Thanks for the responses so far!

Out the firewall only was originally the way yours was routed.

Thank you everyone! Got it put together properly now
Sorry mate only just found my AC unit.
Not sure if it’s any help still but here’s a couple picks of the drain tube.

Very nice, thank you! I'll have to figure out a solution where the hose is clamped down to the unit with a screw
If you’re not going for 100% oem you’ll be able to find a P clamp on eBay or your local auto parts pretty easy. The hose wouldn’t need to be a snug fit, I just needs to be held up enough so the water drains
