It will be in the line that goes between the Condenser and the Evaporator. There is, usually, a couple dents, or indentures, in the line and a big Union Nut where you can take the line apart. I have seen some, though, that do not come apart. You have to replace a whole line segment. If your AC works, you can FEEL the line. The orifice tube is where the line goes from hot, to cold.
If your vehicle is equipped with a Thermal Expansion Valve (TXV), it won't have an Orifice Tube.
