My van has front and rear A/C, but we capped off the rear A/C lines from the condenser because of a leak in the rear lines. In troubleshooting my inoperable A/C, we replaced the evaporator, condenser, compressor and the kit that included the orifice tube. But we could not figure out where the expansion valve goes. Can you provide a diagram of where this is?

There is no expansion valve for the front A/C system only for the rear which the expansion block is at the rear evaporator. Here is the location in the images below. Check out the images (below). Please let us know what happens.
