Question A/C low side port

Anyone have any pics of where the low side port to recharge the A/C is at? I know that it's in between the evaporator and the compressor but I need to be sure that what I think is the port, actually is the right one. Thanks in advance.

The fill hose should only fit onto the correct port. Try the one you think it is and if it doesn't fit, look for the other. The only port I can think of is on the drier.

Put a gauge on there (the low side port) turn on your ac and get the pressure before you charge it up .Our ac's are sealed systems if you loose ur charge you have a leak some where .

Used the A/C pro, got the a/c working but after I disconnected it, I heard a hissing sound. Lost charge again yesterday and looked at one of the hoses in the back, and it's cracked Need new hose, if you look closely in the first pic, you can barely see it, I'll take another pic of the hose.
