Can I ask about the AMOC?

I know precisely nothing about it except the most basic stuff we learned at school, but recently there has been a lot in the news about it weakening and/or collapsing. I think I understand that basic mechanism, but my question is, where will the warm water from the equator go if the AMOC does collapse? Will it just sit in the Gulf of Mexico and get warmer and warmer, or will it shift elsewhere and cause more issues?

Thanks guys, thought I'd ask real people instead of AI
