The orifice tube is built into the liquid line, so you may have to replace the whole line. The orifice tube strainer can become restricted. I replaced the entire liquid without the orifice tube and installed an orifice tube directly on the evaporator. Pressure test the system before you evacuate. If the system is pressure tight the evacuation process(vacuum) will dry the system if done correctly.If the system leaks the vacuum will suck in air and moisture and contaminate the system. I also flushed my system and got some nasty black oil out of it. Some guys pressure test with air. I would never never never suggest doing that. You should pressure test with refrigerant or nitrogen.
