'94 Vanden Plas AC Recharge

(FYI) For the novice mechanic like myself, I spent hours searching for plain and simple information about the location of the low port for AC recharge. For anyone else in my shoes, it's located @ top of engine compartment on PASSENGERS side. The black capped valve is between the power steering reservoir and brake fluid cylinder can. Almost too easy to believe. I emptied a 20oz (kit) plus an additional 12oz can of AC Pro & spent the rest of the 87 deg. day driving around using up my fuel while enjoying the cool !!
