    This is not uncommon. Eater condenses from the Acoil and drains to the condensate pump or gravity drain. If the unit is running properly and drains, I don't think there is an issue. If it is not draining, you have a blockage in the pan drain or in the drain pipe.

    Most likely your drain trap is mostly void of water since unit has not ran in months--leave ac on and allow trap to fill this should solve the gurgling noise as the trap fills with water.
