The A/C freon expansion valve is usually located at or in the evaporator box.

Hi Jeron,
Thank you for responding to me so quickly. Not sure but isn't the evaporator Box inside the A/C system, I would have to open it up to find it, correct?? Thanks again..

If by "inside the A/C system" you mean behind the dash above the tranny tunnel then, yes.
