From what I gather I have two answers:
One person said its behind the glove box, remove it and it should be visible.
...another said:
The orfice tube for the front unit is located to the right side front of the engine compartment next to the radiator, it is in-line, you will will see 2 metal lines that ajoin with fittings the lower and smaller diameter is the orfice line , in the rear unit, the expansion valve is located in the left rear
quarter panel

Just replaced mine (98 expy 4wd). It was in the tube underneath the battery. Undo the 19/22mm fittings and its in the slightly expanded section toward the firewall.
