a/c ?
which is the low and high sides on the compressor? The one near the drivers fender is blocked by an a/c hose. I need to charge this system up. thanks

The low pressure side (on my SE) is the one closest to the fender. It has a hose coming along the firewall to the compressor and you can trace the high-pressure line which goes to the front of the car.
I'm unsure if your 82 compressor is the same (different part # for SE), but where the lines go will help you determine hi an low sides. Better yet, if you get a gauge set, you will know quickly which side is which.
HTH,

Oh, come on, you live in the cold zone, no need to use your A/C.
Anyway, I'm pretty sure that firewall side is high pressur. . . . don't hold me to that though.

if you look closely, the compressor is stamped with a "D" and "S" at each of the lines for suction and discharge. suction is the low side. or just do the thick line thin line thing, that works too
