You'll see two lines coming in and out of the compressor. One will be larger than the other. The compressor splits the low pressure side from the high pressure side. The smaller line will be at the compressor outlet, and that's where the high side of the system begins. From the compressor, the line will go to the condenser. Where the line goes next depends on what type of system you have. If you have a Thermal Expansion Valve (TXV) system, it will go to the receiver-drier. If you have a Fixed Orifice Tube (FOT) system, it will go directly to the FOT from the condenser outlet.
On a TXV system, the line will go from the receiver-drier outlet to the TXV inlet.
The TXV and FOT are both metering devices which separate the high and low pressure side of the system. The high pressure side ends at the metering device inlet, and the low pressure side begins at the metering device outlet.
How do you replace ac condenser on a 2001 chevy venture?
R134a
The 2002 Chevy Venture has a dual a/c system. The 2000 might also. There could be a hole in the hose that goes to the left and back of the van, but not in the one that is for the driver's side of the van.
it's in the high pressure side of the ac line
Not the high side.
i own a 2001 Chevy venture warner bro. edition. and the rear air blows hot while the air is on up front.. i had it checked out and the rear has no ac its just a fan for the back..go figure. my customized Chevy express full size van does the same thing
The low pressure side of the ac system is the ac hose that runs from the inside of the vehicle to the ac compressor. The high pressure side runs from the ac compressor to the condensor in front of the radiator. Follow the ac hose from the compressor back to the body and you will find the charge fitting. It is smaller in diameter than the high pressure side. You would need a different adapter to hook up to the high side.

It begins at the compressor outlet and ends at the inlet of the Fixed Orifice Tube.
It is important to have a diagram when making any changes to a car. A schematic for a 2002 Chevy Venture AC unit can be found in this vehicles maintenance manual.
can you block the high side on the ac on a car to stop a leak
beside the brake booster on the firewall, under the AC lines (if equipped)
