    These cars have an orifice tube instead of an expansion valve. They are completely different, but perform the same function. They create a pressure drop via restriction. Pressure drop is the source of the system cooling.

    It's the hose from the accumulator to the condensor - top passenger side - usually covered in a black plastic braided material.
