How do you install and use the ac recharge kit on an 1997 Oldsmobile achieva?

Recharge kits have to be attached to the ac's low pressure port. The low pressure port for the '97 Achieva is not easy to get to and you'll need a flashlight. Facing the car from the front, locate the high pressure port - it is right at the top front and has a red cap. With the flashlight look to the right and down towards the ground from the red cap and locate a blue cap. The blue cap is the low pressure port. I had to go under the car a reach the port from below. I couldn't see the port from below - I had to feel for it. Twist off the cap and follow the instructions on the recharge kit (unless it tells you to position the can above the port, sigh) You may have to shove a thick rubber hose out of the way a little to connect the recharge kit. Once you think you have the kit connected, tug on the connector a little to make sure it's firmly attached. If the refrigerent is being delivered correctly, the can should feel a little cold. Be careful disconnecting the recharge kit - the engine has been running and some of the parts near the low pressure port may be hot.
