I'm currently doing some work on my '87 B2 2.9L with the right side fenderwell removed, which nicely exposes the long inlet line to the evaporator. It looks like this is the location of the orifice tube. When I run the AC, this line gets cold instantly, and soon starts to drip condensation. It seems to me that given this lines close proximity to the exhaust manifold, and exposure to moist outside air, that it would be better to put some (heat resistant) insulation on the piece. This would prevent heat (cooling) loss, and reduce icing of the line?
Has anyone done this? Any reason not to?

P.S. My AC evap inlet line was slightly bent and damaged recently when my coil tower broke in half and the shock mounting bolt went through the fenderweel, but it does NOT appear to have been pierced!

I edited my post, but left the part about the Freon path.
