Wheres my low side schrader valve?

[TheVarmit]

I have a 96 XLT Explorer, 2 wheel drive, 4.0 ohv. Where is the exact location of the low side schrader valve on the ac? Is the cap green?

It should be on the bottle with the curled hose , on the passenger side of engine compartment.
I think the cap on mine has an L on it

ma96782, thanks for the link, it'll be very helpfull.
jtsmith told me where my low side valve was located, I've checked and it is in that location....the reason I had asked about the location is becacuse my son bought a can of R134 and one of those quick fill meters from Walmart and told me the hose connection was to small for the schrader valve so I had thought that it was the wrong valve. ...maybe he wasn't pushing down on the connection hard enough for it to lock onto the valve. I'll check for sure as soon as he gets home.
Thank all of you for your help!!!
