Default Window AC drain

I have a window AC in my 2nd floor apartment that is running constantly
during the summer, and, as a result, drips a lot of water onto the
patio below. I would like to run a flexible pipe down to a sewer
drain, but I'm not sure how to connect to the the AC steel drain pan.
At the front/corner/bottom edge of the unit, there is a 1/2"-3/4" hole
on the side of the pan (not the bottom), so I'm not sure if that's the
only place it will drip from. I'm having help to install the AC this
weekend, so I'd like to have a good setup in place (since I won't be
able to take it down alone to make adjustments later). Any advice or
experience? Also what type of hose/piping would I need to get? Thanks.
