Both high and low side are near the compressor on the driver's side.
Charging into the low side "in the blind" is not good, and could cause further damage to the system. How do you know it's low on charge? Do you see some evidence of a leak (oil/dirty spots on condensor, ring on hood insulation around compressor clutch plate, or other)?
Charging should be performed w/ high and low side gauges to avoid overcharging. Do you know what pressures to expect?
good luck

a/c recharge
The A/C is not really blowing very cold. So the assumption is it is low on freon. There looks like the low end is on the side nearer the middle of the engine down low.
The high end port apears towrds the front the engine. Just want to be sure.Thanks for the quick reply

It's your call, but charging into low side w/o high side gauge is potentially dangerous. At least if you have a site glass, check to see if you see a continuous stream of bubbles. If yes, you are likely low on charge. However, charging w/ a site glass is not adequate to get charge 'in the ballpark".
good luck
