significant damage? or not?

New parts arrived today. ACM evaporator with expansion valve installed.

Problem is, one of the tubes was bent in shipping. I know the tubing these are made of is thick and the passageway is small. I'm concerned about an obstruction here. This one might be closed entirely. In the pic below, what do you think? I'll have to wait another week to get a new one but I'm afraid this evap might freeze across the middle because of the obstruction. I do not want to do this job twice because of a faulty part.

Also, the expansion valve says R134A on it. Does that mean it will work with both R12 AND R134A, or ONLY R134A? Mine is an original R12 system and is going to stay that way.

Thanks!
