I still can't find where the A/C orfice tube goes 900

I removed the high pressure fitting against the firewall where I thought it would be and found an empty tube. The orfice o-ring seals in the tube but I don't know if it goes there. Does a '96 have a different style like an expantion valve or something? I also found the outlet of the drier was fused to the hose fitting so when I removed it, with much force, it took all the aluminum threads with it. I need to get a new end put on the low pressure hose unless someone has a hose to sell. Thanks for all the help. Paul

From the right side of the vehicle lean over the fender between the shock tower and the coolant resevoir and look down to the frame rail. You will see a bulge in the line on the fwd side of the "B" nut. That's where your expansion valve/VOV is located. Again the location is just outboard of the right engine mount on the frame rail. You'll have to remove the clamp aft of the fittings to access the line it's pretty straight forward from there. Good luck.
