[V8] A/C recharging

[Korn, Bob]

The low pressure is on the receiver/dryer next to the abs module.  I
just converted mine to 134 using this port.  Was a bitch to get to with
the fittings supplied with the kit, had to loosen the canister and pull
up and out of the way.  The FLAPS $40 kit worked well and have ice cold
ac again.

Is the 90 V8 A/C low pressure (fill) spout the one on the back of the
compressor assembly, sort of angled toward the driver side front tire?
   
  Is the high pressure connection the one in the fixture with the
receiver/dryer cannister?  
   
  If I'm low on refrigerant, do I have to jumper something to get the
compressor clutch engaged and turning the compressor? I can't get it to
cycle on and off.  The electric fan comes on when I set the climate
control head to A/C on Low, but I don't see in my gauges that the
compressor is starting and stopping.
   
  I'm using Enviro-Safe's R12 replacement refrigerant, which has worked
fine for my 200q20v.
