Low antifreeze might cause an intermittent chemical smell from the A/C on the recirculate mode. The recirculate mode is a feature of some diesel engines so that all of the air cleaners can get blown out. Perhaps the dirt is causing the chemical smell.

Why would a Chemical smell be coming from ac vents after evaporator and expansion valve replaced in 1992 acura legend?

Changing ac components under the hood should not cause a chemical smell. If the smell changes by changing the air settings from recirculate to fresh, then there may be some chemicals on the outside of the parts. It is also possible that you damaged a part of the heater core system and the smell is antifreeze.
