The fitting is near the can on the passenger side. You are going to put r12 in it?

You will find the port on the black can located near the blower/evaprator housing on the passenger side. Be careful not to add R134 to your A/C system unless that you know that it has been converted. If you mix R12 with R134, you will trash your system.

On the other hand, if the R12 is properly drained, it is possibble to convert your A/C to run on R134.
