Default A/C Recharge low pressure. . . . where is it?

I'm trying to recharge my a/c, but can't find the low pressure vavle. This was a lot easier on my gf's honda, as the low pressure side actually had a big green L on it. I know its going to be between the compressor and the evaporator, but due to not being able to see all the hoses, i'm not sure where that is. I've got an 04 gt. Can anyone help out, or maybe post up a pic of where it is? Thanks.

why would you have to recharger your a/c? According to your sig, you have "too much warrant to play". Take it in and have the dealer recharge it for nothing.

Other than that, the low pressure line, at least on mine (2000) is located closest to the pass shock tower.

Also if you did a recharge kit from like an auto store, they only have one size to fit the low pressure side.

cool, thanks.
Yea, i just recharged it right before i came up here and read that.

Well, the only reason i'm not bringing it to a dealer is because of conflicting work scheduling, and only having one car.

yes only having one car sucks! what did you use for the recharge? mine is completely empty from the engine swap last year and im sweating my *** off. how much of the freeon do you think it takes to completely fill it?

It takes usually 3 140z cans of refrigerant. Some come with 25oz. Either was the kit will come with what's need to fill it. The kit is like $40.00. That depends on which one you get or what is available to you where you live. I got the EZ-Chill kit by Interdynamics from Advance Auto Parts. Castrol has one also.

Here is a link to some of the above mentioned on JcWhitney.
