Default A/C Low Side Valve Location

Did a search on the forums but couldn't find the answer. Probably the dumbest question of the year but I'm just wondering where exactly is the A/C's low side valve located? Thanks for any help...

Looking at the JTIS, it says the low and high side ports are next to each other in the right rear corner of the engine compartment. You can tell the difference between the two in that the high pressure side will run between the condensor (located in front of the radiator) and the dash where the low pressure port is going to be between the dash and the receiver (small metal bulb in the return line, which then leads to the compressor).

Hope this helps.

Location is correct, but the direction of flow you'll find is not so clear, however the Low Side connects to the larger tube which is clearly visible.

Thanks guys, found it. Kind of in an awkward spot, I can barely put my hand around the cap to pull it off. Thanks again...
