There should be a line running towards the accumulator/dryer, it ends up going under it. Right before it gets to the A/D there should be a fitting to access the tube which should be in the tube that goes under the A/D. Hope this helps, the diagram wasn't really clear.

Thanks Ken, ya, I ended up finding it. Course, this turned out to be the least of my problems as when I went to put the new compressor on, I found that the pulley was much larger (2in) and the belt wouldn't fit. Anyways, I could probably write up a whole tech article about it if you like.

eh... uh... nope, I can take some pics of the finished product with descriptions/locations of everything if you like. I would go ahead and break it back down but I already got it evac/charged and would have to break open the system, and frankly, I'm enjoying my ac too much (been 5 years w/o, lol). Anyways, I do still have all the old parts though. Let me see what I can do for you, it may be a little bit, but I'll work something up.

P.S. I've always wanted one of my posts to qualify as "sticky" status,

Don't break it open, some pics would be nice just for locations. Write it up and send it to me in an email and I'll make a tech article for the Ranger forum. THANKS!!!
