Default A?C Problem

I am trying to recharge the A/C system and I can not find the low side access. It is a 3800 V6. The only thing I see that seems like it might be right is on the accumalator. Can anyone help me? the smaller low side is right next to the radiator.

That is the only one that I find on the one I have but I don't know for sure.

the recharge connector should only fit on the low side. the high side has a bigger connector.

You were right, the low side connector is on the accumulator.

Thanks for the info, I tried recharging the AC and it did nothing, so I guess it has more issues than needing just a recharge. Anyone know what the next step is? Is it adding refridgerant with dye to see if there is a leak?

Do you have enough refrigerant in there? What initially made you recharge it?
