[V8] AC again

I've never had to do it on a V8, thankfully, so no first hand experience. 
However, find a port on the line that comes from the firewall directly to 
the compressor, not the one from the compressor to the front of the car. It 
should have a R12 fitting, which is a male shrader valve. Screw the low side 
adapter onto it, and then put the hose on with the air compressor style 
fitting. Then, fill away. The kit should have a chart for your ambient temp 
versus low side readings.

HTH,
Tony
