Ok, I have a 1995 chevy and I'm fixing the A/C. I'm replacing the compressor, accumulator and orifice tube. Dumbass question coming......Where the hell is the orifice tube located?:confused:
 
inside the connection where the one hose joins the condenser at the front near the radiator. If you look you will see the one tube is a little fatter for 3-4".. Disconnect it there and it just slips right in/out..
 
Hmmm. So it's somewhere in the line from the condensor to the firewall. It just slips in at a connection somewhere then?

This would be right about in the spot described below.

Awesome. I'll check tomorrow and see what's up. Thanks guys.
 
Ok, I've checked and I don't see anything there. There are no fittings or wide spots in the line fron the condensor to the firewall. Right at the firewall is the connection for what I assume is the evap core. Is there a possibility that the orifice is right at the connection at the firewall? I just don't want to start ripping into this thing all willy-nilly and take apart any connectors that don't need to be and possibly screw anything else up.
 
on a 96 and 98 (should be the same) its in the bottom line coming out of the condenser. remove the grille and it should be beside where the turn signal was.
