What am I supposed to do with the expansion valve for the rear ac? I have a new one, but it is a bit different than the original. How does the coil mount to the line? Do I just clamp it to the side of it, or is it supposed to coil around the line?

The original looks like this:

And here is the new one that came with my compressor kit and all the parts store replacements look like this as well.

What did you end up doing here? I'd guess you just clamp it to the line similar to how the original was.

Just clamped it for now. But I need to figure out my ac charging problem first, and then I will be ordering the ac delco replacement style and replacing with that when I evacuate the system again.

Be sure to post up what you find wrong with the rear air. I'm 80% certain I know where parts of it are at, and 90% certain I know where other parts of it are at, but I kept most of the rear air components off a 91 Burb with rear air. Including the long hoses. The other part I have, is the condensing coil part with the blower. I wish my **** wasn't so damn scattered in different locations. I'd know where everything is then, but I moved recently and stuff went everywhere.
