This was why I put the gravel drainage bed into the design. The piping will have drainage holes drilled into it in order to shed the water. Am I missing something?

I think what you are missing is that the air coming our of your system will be very high humidity due to the temperature gradient being so small. The coils on a AC are very cold, almost freezing and much of the humidity condenses on them Your cooling pipes will not even be close to freezing or even as cold as a glass of cool water so much less water will condense and more of it will be left in the air. You wil be lowering the temp but not so much the moisture so the reletive humidity will go up in your house.
