There isnt a seperate filter for the a/c air that comes into the truck. There is a cabin air filter that filters incoming outside air, but that wont really help you especially if your using the recirculate option when your a/c is on.
That being said, I have encountered many customers complaining of a mildew smell when first turning on the air conditioning, and in some extreme cases, burning eyes and scratchy throats. The problem is mildew building up in the a/c ducts, which happens when the duct temp. fluctuates, ie, driving for an hour with the a/c on, then shutting off the truck for a couple of hours. I would recommend getting a can of Frigi-Fresh. Its an aerosol can, and you spray it into the fresh air intake. Thats located in the cowl, just below the windshield wipers. Have the truck running, a/c on high, recirculate off, and just spray it into the cowl. It kills all the mildew, mold and bacteria thats growing in the ductwork, and it smells nice. You can substitute Lysol instead, as its pretty much the same thing. Try that and see if that helps.

Our front ac is not working and back is cold in our 1999 GMC suburban, we tried putting freon and it didn't work

Dual zone front/rear ac systems have 2 evaporator cores. And 2 orifice tubes, which are just inline
filters. Either your front evaporator core or orifice tube is probably stopped up.

Sometimes you can get to the evaporator cores without removing them from the vehicle, and clean it.
Evaporator cores do get stopped up sometimes, because the blower motor pulls in air with dust and debris from outside, and the air is cooled when it passes through the evaporator core.

But evaporator cores are a nightmare to replace, you usually have to remove lots of stuff under the dash and lots of stuff under the hood to remove them.

What is the best cap and rotor for my 1999 Suburban? I have been told AC Delco is the only way to go, what do you think.

YES AC DELCO IS THE BEST QUALITY AT THE BEST PRICE, UNLESS YOU HAVE OVER 100,000 MILES ON THIS TRUCK I WILL SAY REPLACING THE CAP AND ROTOR IS A WASTE OF MONEY

Front & rear ac is "ok" on high RPM but on low does not cool at all,I'just change compresor. Is it any filter in those lines,maby.

Theres no filter for the rear a/c lines, the problem is the lines themselves are too long. On low speed, by the time the cool air reaches the rear vents, its already warming up again.

Back air blows cold air, the front blows warmer air

I recenly had the same problem on my 1999 suburban, even after I replaced the whole ac system.
The heater valve, which is under the air filter area was not closing, causing heat to be blowing over the evaporator core. I used a zip tie to keep it in the closed position, and ac went from 70 degrees to 40. I think the vacuum switch is bad, 40 dollars (dealer part). You can also pull the vacuum hose off the switch, which is on the firewall and connect it dirctly to valve and it closes the valve, but fits loosley. Use silicone around vac hose if you go this route.
