Default AC orifice filter Help

Where are these things located on an LS1 system? I need to change mine out because it's clogged.

I found it nevermind. But if my orifice was clogged really bad, as it was, is my condensor bad also?

what was the orifice tube clogged with? If its debris from a failed AC compressor chances are the rest of the system needs to be flushed out. But if the ube is clogged up, the condenser isnt necessarily bad, if your lucky the orifice tube caught everything. If anything the system needs to be flushed out because i cant see a condenser going bad unless it has a leak. The compressor is a different story however.

No compressor is REALLY REALLY bad. The valves inside were chattering like crazy so I tried putting oil in the system. It didn't like that. The compressor locked up solid mid run. Fukt the belt pretty bad. The entire system seems to be scrap so I'm replacing the major components and flushing the rest.
