A/C Capillary Tube off Expansion Valve Location

I have a '65 Chevy C10 with factory air. I just got my A/C unit put back in and then read in the service manual that the capillary tube should be attached to the output tube on the evaporator. Of course I didn't put it there, I put it on the inlet tube between the expansion valve and the evaporator core (I replaced the one on my Jeep Grand Wagoneer and that's where it was taped to). I wrapped the whole thing in the tar type wrap.

The question I have is it going to be worth it to pull everything back out and move it to the outlet tube? The strange thing is my Jeep has it on the Inlet tube after the expansion valve, my Studebaker Hawk had it stuck between the fins on the evaporator core, and Chevy says to put it on the outlet tube. Which makes me wonder, does it really matter where it's located inside the box.

I really don't want to have to move it, but now is the time to do it if I need to.

Thanks.
