Default ac problem/ac line (low side- to recharge)

first off, i replace my ac compressor with one that was locked up. it seems like the clutch isn't spinning either with the new compressor. all the pressure is out from it so i'm not sure if that has anything to do with it.
everything is plugged in so not sure why the ac clutch isn't spinning with the pulley when i turn it on.

anyone have a clue?

also i'm trying to recharge my AC with those portable AC chargers from autozone.

i see the "High" pressure side but i need to located the "Low" pressure nozzle so i can recharge it

pretty sure it's basic but i wanted to see if anyone knew right off hand

thank you!

well, all the pressure is out from the ac system (changed the compressor). would i be able to recharge the system by using a few of the portable cans they sell at pepboys, etc? or would i have to have the system specially refilled at a mechanics/ac shop?

You should be able to, but I've heard if you have air in the lines its not good and shops will vaccum the system out to remove any moisture and air. If you feel like spending $6-$10 in cans though you can try.
