Arrow A/C problem (help needed)

Hi,

I need some help from you guys. I have a leak in my a/c system, and I need new aluminum pipes that connect to the reciever dryer. Does anyone have any pics of the dryer set up, anyone is registered at toyota's online manual? I have the Haynes manual but they don't mention what those pipes are called, I gotta find out what they are and check prices online before I sell my soul to the Toyota dealership, I'm positive their parts are $mucho money$.

Help please?

EDIT:
Here is the pic of what I'm talking about. That pipe line that going from the dryer. It's all coroted from my battary, which is part of the problem.

If it is the line between the condensor and receiver dryer, it is called the discharge line. It should cost roughly 60 $. Be careful as there two different models, one has got a bigger whole than the other (condensor side) so make sure that you are asked for VIN and year of registration when ordering. If I were you I would just go to a salvage yard and check the part directly on your car to see if it is the good one. Might be much cheaper.
BTW since you are opening your system don't forget to change the receiver dryer as well and refill with oil !
Good luck !

I went to the dealer today, one line is 200 bucks and another one is 120, that's insane. I stopped by few junk yards but they don't have them.
Anyone can get me a diagram from on-line toyota service manual of Air conditioning cooler piping? I wanna get the right part numbers and look it up online.
Thanks

BUMP!Urgent!
I contacted the toyotaandlexusparts.com and asked about those two lines, and they gave me some different lines, the ones you can't find in the catalog... I have a feeling they trying to rip me off.. because I found some lines in their catalog, they seem what I need but I'm not sure, check it out:
Hvac, Air conditioner, Suction hose, SUCTION HOSE, Camry, 2.2L
Hvac, Air conditioner, Discharge hose, DISCHARGE HOSE, Camry, 2.2L

Suction is the one that goes from reciever dryer to compressor right?
and discharge is the one from reciever dryer to the condenser?

If anyone knows this, let me know ASAP.

Thanks guys
