Replace everything.
Also there is another problem (more important) that cause the pan to get in that condition in the first place.
Broken evaporator pan, Low refrigerant (leak), unit is freezing up from air flow issues …
Check for water damage. Install a drain pan shutoff safety. No open risers in new installation.

If you’ve observed the need for AC repair in your home, it’s essential to act promptly. Signs like poor cooling, unusual noises, or water leaks can indicate issues. First, check the filters and thermostat settings. If problems persist, consult a professional HVAC technician. Timely repairs can prevent further damage and ensure your AC system operates efficiently, maintaining a comfortable indoor environment.
Yes, rerouting the drain line is an acceptable repair for an old and rusty drain pan. It is a common practice to reroute the drain line to a more convenient location, such as a nearby floor drain or condensate pump. However, it is important to make sure that the new drain line is properly installed and that it is not kinked or pinched. For that purpose you have to consult with an expert HVAC technician.
David you should request further evaluation by a licensed AC contractor to ensure that the repair was done correctly and that there are no other underlying problems with the AC unit.
