'99 GMC Safari Low Side Service Port Sign In

Can anyone tell me where the low side port is found on a 1999 GMZC Safari, 4.3L V6 w/ rear air.
I think the system needs to be charged and I cannot figure out which is the correct port. The one I think is correct does not fit the chage kit I bought. The port the kit does fit seems to be on the high pressure side of the system. Maybe I am looking at it wrong but I do not want to make a mistake and charge the wrong side.
Can anyone tell me which is correct?

The low side port will be near the firewall close to the accumulator(round can thing that has hoses in it). I do not recommend just adding refrigerant to try to cure a problem. If you add too much, those small cans can become an explosiver device. My suggestion(if you are not really familiar with a/c systems), is to have it diagnosed by a person that knows a/c. Just safety first. Good luck.

They're called "DEATH KITS" - Searchable by Google no less. They'll only hook up to low side ports which is bad enough without knowing what you are up to. If they could hook up to high side it would be "closed casket"

Use AYOR should be on the labels but isn't,
