Where is the orifice tube on a 97 Tahoe?

Any pics would be great if you have some.

Re: orifice tube location?

The tube that is at the 45 degree angle. When it breaks off, put a screw in it to pry it out. Then get one of these:

Re: orifice tube location?

Did you end up using a variable or regular fixed orifice tube? About to start rounding up parts to get my A/C fixed.
