Location of orifice tube?

I have a 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo and I need to replace the orifice tube for my A/C. But i'm not sure where it is. Any suggestions?

    Right before the evaporator inside the car, in the high pressure side of the system, it is the division point between the high and low pressure side of the AC system. The evap is the coil inside the car, chances are you have an expansion block not an orifice tube, but if you do it will be slightly before the evap.

    This is a job for a professional. If the orifice tube is blocked the compressor has been running without lubrication or cooling. See "How can I tell if the orifice tube is clogged?" in the source.
