I want to use the car's AC condenser as the heat pumps evaporator , I have confused the parts in the conversion from AC to heat pump , everything is reversed , twice it seems at times..

A 1/4 ton expansion valve is about 3000 Btu's , will this limit the system to that amount ? If so I think it might be better to use the 1/3 ton TXV and try to max it out ? I still know next to nothing about the expansion valve so bear with me.
