On the passenger side there should be two ac lines.
I'm not sure which one is the low side but if it's got 134A in it the recharge fitting will only fit the low side.
The fitting for the high side is a different size.
You "must charge from the low side" you can burst the freon can if you charge it from the high side.

There's two schrader valves for the AC. They are both on the passenger side of the car with plastic screw-on caps on them. One is toward the front of the car by the passenger side headlight - this is the high side and your recharge fitting will not fit on this. The other is about 3/4 the way back toward the firewall - this is the low side and your recharge fitting should fit on this one. The low side valve is smaller than the high side.

The larger diameter lines are low side, smaller ones high side. Easy crib for any A/C system.
