Used to maintain driers for waveguide pressurizers and re-activated lots of dessicant. Dessicant in A/C systems is contained in cloth/paper sacks inside the dryer, not loose.

Yep, ex-Navy Machinist Mate myself. Used to take care of the twin dessicant towers for the radar wave guides. One was filtering while the other tower was regenerating.There's several different types of dessicant, including the re-gen stuff. On the auto stuff there's just a metal screen between the drier shell and the rest of the system. The powder gets right through the screen.
If the evaporator's already in the car then the TXV's probably attached to it. The orifice tube will probably be near the condensor outlet.. but.. ya ain't got no condensor.. If already there, I'd inspect the liquid line from the condensor's outlet all the way to the evap. If there's an orifice tube there, that's where it would be.
