AC Question

[huntsg]

My AC compressor died so I decided to replace it and upgrade to R134 from the R12 at the same time. Do our cars have an orifice tube that needs replacing? If so, where is it? Thanks.

You need to replace the orifice tube, compressor, and accumulator. Then the whole system needs to be completely cleaned. The tube is in the high side liquid line where it attaches at the evap core.
