Trying to recharge my a/c, where is the low-pressure port on the 5.7liter?

There's only two ports - if you bought a recharge kit it'll only let you connect to the low side.

It should be on the passenger side near the accumulator, aluminum canister mounted to passenger fender. the port should be covered by a black plastic cap that you have to unscrew off. Just for info, high side is right to the passenger side of the
radiator also with a black plastic cap covering it.

hope this helps

I see the one on the passenger side of the radiator. The connection of the recharge kit won't fit that, but the only other port I see is actually on the accumulator. I've never seen it ON the accumulator before so that kind of confused me a bit. I'm assuming that that is the low side since the connection of the recharge kit will fit it.

Thanks for your help! It's been HOT in Atlanta lately!
