If so where do I find the orifice tube on this vehiole?

Answer
Hi Richard

If your system has dual air then you need to follow the liquid line the one that goes from the condenser to the evaporator.  There you will find a connection the orifice is in there.  If you have a single unit system. then you will find it at the condenser outlet.
