Um, well i'm not sure how much the general labor charge is for a quality shop near you but at the dealership i worked at it was $90/hour for me as an employee then something like $100 for the supplies BUT i can't remember fully. You can probably call in and get a quote over the phone.

Maybe this will help, it looks promising. I know it isn't specific for a bronco but it might give you an idea.

Orifice tube is located in the lower hard line coming out of the HVAC box, there's a spring lock on the tube, when the tube is opened the orifice tube is inside of there.
It's not my money to spend but the price sounds very reasonable for a shop to do the work, be sure that they replace the receiver/dryer as well, if the old system has been dry for any amount of time it needs to be replaced.

Eh, it ain't nothing. But I plan to go tomorrow and get the AC filled...probably won't use it much but oh well..won't hear a nagging gal when I turn it on hopefully. Also will get my front molding vinyl floor covering too.
