Question A/C Sight Glass and the Low and High R-134s Ports

I had to add a little R-134a to our Mazda 3 and figured I would check my High and Low Pressures on the 1998 SC300.

I found the High Pressure Port and the Sight Glass easy enough. You can see them in the 1st photo.

But, I can not find the Low Pressure Port anywhere! I looked at the back side of the A/C Compressor (2nd and 4th photo) and below the battery (3rd photo).

Passenger side of the engine bay, under the intake facing the exhaust manifold.

Exclamation Low Pressure Port

Thanks to SuperMn, I was able to find it. To help anyone who comes across this Post in the future, here is a photo of its hiding place.

Note: The Low Pressure A/C Port is just below the Anti-Lock Brake Controller.
