Adding r134a........which port??
Is it located on the accumulator/drier bottle?
Can I use one of those $16 autozone gage setup and a $10 can of r134a?

You can use the gauges but do you really want test your $1300 system with a set of cheap gauges? Low side tap is between the evaporator and the compressor and should be smaller than the high pressure tap.

..make that "cheap Chinese-made junk" gauge..

The low side port is directly on the accumulator can.

Found it. Thanks
With a gage hooked up on the low pressure port and the a/c running on high, what should the p.s.i. be?

It depends on the air temp. Usually between 35 and 45lbs.
