You don't need the tube, if you can get the plug out just let it drain through the bell housing (back of the block) just make sure it can get out of the bottom of the bell housing, and never drive through 60" of water unless your life depends on it OR you can afford to just trash a HMMWV and buy another one.
AS RWH and others have pointed out over and over the entire fording system was ONLY designed to get the HMMWV through the very few seconds it takes a HMMWV to get from a landing craft to the beach, not so you can sit with water up to your chest impressing your friends while drinking a beer!
If someone drives through 60" of water the last concern they will have is water pooling in the valley.
