A/C refurbish help request 200 1989

Hi All,

I have a 1989 245 that the A/C does not work in. Recently, the A/C clutch came apart and made less than good noises and started smoking. I know there are leaks somewhere in the system, because the last time I tried to charge it, the air worked for a day or so. So I bought a new compressor, drier, expansion valve, and seal kit from rockauto.

Everything under the hood looks to be fairly straight forward as the replacing of parts goes, but I am at a loss as to where the new expansion valve goes. I am also looking at where the hoses go into the firewall and fear needing to take the dash or at least most of it out of the car to get to any seals inside. So, where does the expansion valve go, and does the dash need to be removed to get to anything inside the car? What else should I be doing to make this a successful repair? Any points and additional information would be appreciated.

Thank You!
Eric
