Question A/C orfice tube

Hello everyone. I am in need of help, it's hot and I need to know where the air conditioning orfice tube is located at on my 2001 alero. I was told that it was clogged:confused up and that's why my system couldn't be recharged. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Terence

If the orifice tube is clogged, you have more problems than a plugged o-tube. The stuff that is plugging it had to come from somewhere, That somewhere is the compressor. The compressor is dead or dying. You have a DV-5 compressor IIRC.
The orifice is located in the line between the condenser and the evaporator. On GM cars it's usually in the evaporator inlet tube.
