Looks like it is built into the AC line. Search for part number 1955602 at www.rockauto.com

That is correct. The orifice tube in Mustangs (and most fords I believe) are integrated into the Liquid Line of the A/C system. It goes between the accumulator/drier to the compressor.

Ah, that is good news, going to be ordering a new accumulator, so I guess I'm all set on that front.

Thanks for the speedy response both of you.

No I believe it's in the high side line between the condensor and the evaporator.

I concur:

A/C Evaporator Core Orifice

The A/C evaporator core orifice has the following characteristics:

A A diameter of 1.46 mm (0.058 inch).

B It is located in the condenser to evaporator tube (19835) and has filter screens located on the inlet and outlet ends of the tube body.
