Default recharging an AC

Hey guys I figured out how to chrage my AC on my 94 fleetwood and now a freind is asking me to charge his AC on his 97 ford thunderbird. I told him alright but im thinking, I had to charge my AC on the condensor. I think thats what its called, but is that where im going to need to charge his at? Im not very familiar with HVAC work. I bought the r134 can with the gauge connected to the can so it should only fit on one inlet in his car right? And ya i know its a ford but i really didnt want to go to a ford forum for it. Thanks for any input, i know he will really appreciate seing how it hit 98 degrees in florida today.

it depends on whether you are going to charge the low or the high pressure side (gas side or the fluid side).
which also determines if the can will be right side up or upside down when doing the charge.
right side up is gas out of the can, upside down is fluid coming out of the can.

I suggest you get a R134 hose KIT and follow the instructions.
and wear face protection .. .. ! ! !
