From what I have seen on several Panteras projects that clip is fairly important. It firmly snugs the expansion valve sensor to the output of the evaporator. I don't think the clip is unique to Pantera and it can probably be found from several sources. Sorry, I do not have a picture of it. It is made from spring steel.
