Draft standards are mentioned in the catalogue:

	http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/wg14_document_log.htm

but you have to check PDFs are unlocked - some recent drafts are locked.

Not sure why you mention C99, newer standards are available:
C2011	http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n1570.pdf	(2011)
C2017
