With that set up get some corogated plastic. Place it on top of the bottom flange of the front I Beam and secured to the under side of the rear.
Now the condensate will Drain to the back wall.
Run a drain trough to a small condensate pump and dispose of it somewhere
I highly agree with putting a pan under the compressor mezzanine. You cannot guarantee thaty there will not be water dripping from them no matter what you try to do from above, so the customer has to accept the fact there will be water, so just catch it in a pan.
In that part of Florida the dewpoint runs close to 80 Deg F so even warm stuff sweats.
Publix supermarkets uses huge pans under their overhead piping in the sales area. No drips...no slips.
Rubatex is the fix. An insulation with a vapor barrier on the warm damp side.

Bear Rules: Keep our home <50% RH summer, controls mites/mold and very comfortable.
Provide 60-100 cfm of fresh air when occupied to purge indoor pollutants and keep window dry during cold weather. T-stat setup/setback +8 hrs. saves energy
Use +Merv 10 air filter. -Don't forget the "Golden Rule"
Very true, I don't think you can get away from moisture in Florida, period.
I did go over it with them yesterday and the tarp or "diaper" is a no-go. But the idea of using pans seemed like a good one, so perhaps that's what I'll do.
BUT, what about all the dust and stuff that will without a doubt collect in the pans, it'll be a nightmare to try and clean them as they will be under the grate.

Hmmm.. So much to think about.
With water dripping down there shouldn't be much dust.
Once a year remove and wash. Maintenance, job security, Over Time!!!
