[V8] AC Recharge Question

[Scott Simmons]

Perhaps because the V8 uses an accumulator and orifice tube instead of a 
receiver drier and expansion valve?  The "cylinder" is in a different 
spot in the two systems.  One on the high pressure liquid line before 
the evaporator (receiver drier) and one on the low pressure gas line 
after the evaporator (accumulator).

Or that's how accum systems are usually set up.
