Well, long story short... When the engine blew and I was removing the Valve Covers to investigate, I managed to break one of the A/C lines located near the firewall on the passenger's side and simply need help identifying the name of the line so I can finally replace it and have some A/C.... Not that fun down here in Houston with a heat index of 108

I'm not very knowledgeable when it comes to the A/C side of things in the engine bay, so any help would be appreciated. It seems to be running from the accumulator down towards the condenser but im not sure. Looks i might have to replace the accumulator itself and not the line due to the break being on the left side of the disconnect. Any ideas?

Thanks a lot! Seems from what ive just read i'll have to replace the dryer/accumulator either way since the line was broken and everything was exposed to moisture and dirt....Time to take it to a shop instead of doing it myself unfortunately.

I bought a new drier on ebay for about 30 bucks. You can replace it yourself easily, but make sure it's flushed first. You'll need a quick connect tool to remove the old line clamp though.
