Hello,

The low-pressure port is located close to the passenger side fender, under the hood.

See attached pictures for reference.

Here is a helpful guide on recharging the AC system:

Let me know of any questions.

Thank you.

This is not the same engine that's in mine. the coolant jug is on the driver's side. all I could find is two ports none would fit the hose from the Freon can.

According to Alldata the low side service port should be the one under the engine cover. See below.

I am trying find other diagrams but there is just not enough info available.
Can you take a few more pictures of the top of the engine area from different angles? It should be towards the back of the engine closer to the firewall.

Yes, the only ones I see are the two ports with the grey caps on it that won't fit. I've looked everywhere.
