Changing ac components under the hood should not cause a chemical smell.

If there is a small drip of antifreeze under the car behind the right front tire, this could be from the evaporation hose. Antifreeze may drip after the car has been run with the air conditioning on. If the air conditioning was not on just previous to noticing the antifreeze, it would be a good idea to check all of the hoses for leaks.
