I looked up how to clear the clog they say to use a shop vac but. I have no idea were the pipe leads to outside, I walked around the house to find one pipe on the other side of the house dripping some water, not sure if thats it or not, have have 3 Units total.

Could we use the shop vac and suck it all out from the inside? I can disconnect the Pipe from the Unit(right at the clear plastic tube)

Probably depends on where the clog is. Inside would be best if that's closest to the clog. The only way to find out is to try.
 
When mine clogged, I found that the clog was in a section of pipe close to the A/C outlet. It's worth checking to see if that's the case for you. Then just disassemble from there and you don't even have to go outside.
 
^ Thanks for the replies

I actually just went ahead of took part of the pipes apart that were not glued together, cleaned them out and poured bleach in.

The bleach was going through very slowly as I could see through the clear pipe, I kept pouring in some bleach and all of a sudden the level just drops, I poured in some more and it went down with ease, So its all clear 😀

That went better then expected

Pull the connection between the clear plastic and PVC pipe and us a shop vac to suck it out or, use a garden hose adapter ++ 2 mechanical hose clamps and a garden house with house hold water pressure to blast it out.
