Default SC 400 A/C Low and High Side Ports

Hi,

Can someone tell me where the A/C high and low side ports or valves are for a 1993 SC 400?

Thanks in advance.

Mike,

Thanks for the info. I thought that was the highside, but had doubts when it wouldn't fit the standard schraeder connectors. I've since learned that I(we) need a 1/4 x 3/16 high side connector. I have one on the way.

The leak is actually just the natural seepage through the hoses, as the system has not been opened or topped off in 13 years.

Regards.
