Default A/C recharge port?

Ok, since the search is giving me errors, i'm going to ask (Sorry, it's probably a repeat question) Here goes: My A/C has died on me, and I was wondering what port it was to recharge it. The one next to the accumulator?

It's on the silver cylinder on your passenger side shock tower between the two lines.

Yeah. There are two different sized "ports", it's almost idiot proof. If you get a recharge kit from the parts store, it will only fit the low pressure port.
