Don't think they had filters back in 97 . Evaporator drain could be plugged andnot allowing the water to drain out .

Unless you have a little critter that crawled in there and passed on to a better world, it may be mildew.
There have been numerous service bulletins written on the subject and many auto parts stores sell cleaning kits.

95 Voyager w/ summertime "feet" smell...evap drain hose turned horizontal, probably during some prior maintenance...turned vertical and no more stink.
