Thank you for you insights everyone. How do I find the low side of the A/C system for the proper hook up?

Should have a blue cap on it. If not it will be the small connection on the left aka the low side.

Mine doesn't have the blue cap. I have two green ones. So i want the left one. The one that has the two hoses plugging in directly underneath it?

The low side is the larger hose. But I think DPI hose sets are the same size for low an high sides.

The back of the compressor should look like this. If using a can with a hose with a connection it should only hook up with its mate.

Disregard my last post. Thank you. So i have two green caps. I need to use the one on the left. In your case. The silver one. The kit came with a retro fitting to allow the hose to attach to it. What worried me was that it also threads to the right port as well. So i need to totally ignore the right side port.

Ok is this system still on R12? If so you need to have that taken out. You shouldn't put 134a in with R12. And the compressor my only last a short time because it's not made for it. Took the leap myself and had to put in a new one.

Yes, the system is on R12. I am using an aftermarket refridgerant. It is compatible with R12 system.
