Thanks to some great folks on our site, I have located the piece of air duct I need. 

As an aside - BEWARE if you plan to purchase a rebuilt AC compressor from an Advance Autoparts store. I am flushing my system today for the second time in 17 months. The first one lasted 9 months and I got a warranty replacement, but had to spend another $200 (the compressor was about $160) for other damaged and contaminated components. The second one failed in 8 months and since their warranty program only applies to the original purchase, it was no longer covered (just as well). So I replaced it with a new Fomoco factory unit for $230. I would have saved a lot of money to have spent more for a good one in the first place. I pass this along as I have talked to two other friends with similar experiences with different compressors from the same retailer. One guy purchased and returned 3 with incorrect bolt patterns before he gave up.
