AC Expansion valve and condenser questions
1997 Civic HX 5MT stock 309k miles
Can someone show me via pictures of the following two things from a stock position if they have them regarding my AC system ? :
1) A picture of the evaporator core removed with the expansion valve installed and the thermometer thing on the fins ? I want to make sure when I install a new one I have them in the correct place.
2) A picture of the condenser with the 3 "seals" installed ? These seals should be like some sort of foam insulation you would have on a window AC installation.
Background: I've had this car since 2011, around 2015 I pulled the whole AC system out, flushed and re-installed with a new compressor, condenser and evaporator (and all the o-rings, reciever etc you have to do as well). A leak has sprung in the condenser, and because of its age I am going to pull everything, do a flush and install some new parts again. I want to see what the original position of things were per 1) and 2) to make sure I didn't deviate too far from the original. I may not have put things perfectly right where intended in my last go around with this nearly 10 years ago and was hoping to get a stock reference. Thanks in advance.

There are quite a few on eBay. There are two different styles though. Find pics in the listings.
