Wow - looks like the fitting is between the airbox and the ABS. I can't get my hand in there, gonna have to remove the airbox, but I won't do that until I get a new air filter and change it at the same time.
It's on my list of things to do this week so I will post the pressure when I take it.

I need to check my refrigerant level also. Mine takes a little while to cool off. It's worse than my 99 Camry and 96 Crown.

Added a second 14 oz can tonight and the pressure shot up to 55 psi on my gauge @ 75* outside (evening).
My gauge is blue from 25 - 45 psi, the instructions targeted 35 - 45 psi @ 75*.
The Monte didn't like that scenario - high pressure limiter didn't turn on my compressor until my gauge showed 45 psi and then it would kick on and off. Had to bring it down to 35 psi and the thing stayed on continuously.
Drove down the highway @ 71 mph on recirc air w/ the fan on high and the car was downright uncomfortably cold - the side and back windows fogged over on the outside.
Switched to outside air and set fan to 3rd setting and car stayed cold - will need to see what it will do w/ 90* and afternoon sun now.
