Its built into one of the lines and is not replaceable. You'll need to replace that entire line.

That's right. Likely in the liquid (low pressure) line. Parts store can get it for you.

I don;t have an '01 handy to look at right now.

Hey ....... fixed it. FYI , There is a relief/ oil plug that is designed to let go. I read my gauge wrong and had put too much refrigerant in. had it evacuated and recharged at the shop. Thanks
