as long as it is water dripping and not coolant, or some other substance, yes, its completely normal.

Could be something clogging the drain, which can be cleared with a piece of wire and time spent under the truck.

You just fixed that hose right......So im guessing you filled up the coolant to the top check your overflow tank and see if you have coolant in there

My 1998 does this all the time. First vehicle I've owned with functional A/C--freaked me out the first time I saw the puddle. But it is indeed water and nothing else. I find that it drips for different amounts of time depending on whether I park it on a grade and which way it's facing (facing down a steep grade has the longest drip time).
