Where is the expansion valve on a 1994 Mazda 929?

I recently had to replace my A/C compressor on my '94 929 and I chose to do it myself because when I called a couple shops to price the installation, labor would've been almost $600 plus the $400 I'd already spent for the new compressor and another almost $100 I spent on the new receiver drier and expansion valve, so I opted to install it myself since the only reason I was going to have a shop do it was because it's REALLY hot here in Louisiana right now and frankly, I just didn't want to do it. ($600 was exactly enough to change my mind, though.) Moving along, I've replaced the compressor and the receiver drier and all I have left, obviously, is the expansion valve. I've read on a few different sites that say it's usually behind the glove box. Well, I don't have a glove box (also, not a single cup holder, WTF MAZDA?!?!?) I pulled off the front panel on the passenger side and it's really hard to tell what's what, so any guidance anybody could give me as to what I would need to do to access it would be great! Thanks in advance!
