Weird noises from under the dash! 850

On a trip this weekend, my 1994 850 Turbo Wagon began to make what sounded like a scraping sound each time I turned to the left. First thought, maybe brake pads are wearing thin and the little scraping device was warning me of such....on the way back from the trip, I noticed the noise had increased and it seemed to make it no matter what way the car was pointed. When I was almost home, I turned off the A/C and the noise went away. I began to think, maybe clutch on compressor. I continued on my journey in a torrential downpour. When I made it into town I turned on the A/C again and began to hear strange guggling noises coming from under the dash on the passenger's side...When I got home I saw that the floor was full of water. I just went out driving again and it almost sounds as thought the fan is turning in a pool of water...when I turn up the fan the sounds pitch becomes higher! Now I'm thinking plugged drainage hose for the A/C system....any ideas? Also, if you agree with me, any idea how to get to it for repairs? Thank you all in advance for your answers and comments.
