    Did you get coolent or oil on the belt? If so replace it, you will always have a squeel in it. Drain for the heater box is on the firewall behind the engine near the bottom of the car. You can run something up the tube to clear the plug or shop vac, if you have room. This is easier to get to from under the car. Plugs in the floor pan are under the carpet, and would require you to cut them out they are sealed into the body and would have to be sealed back in after. You will be better off using a vacuum to remove the water and the turn heat on to the floor with windows open to dry.
