A/C lines?

Hey I have a jdm 93 rx7 type R and it has an a/c button but I can't find the lines to recharge it under the hood, I can see the pump but then I get lost in the sea of junk, my car is basically stock so no major mods, can anyone tell me what went on these two (pics below) lines?
(This is the left side of the car)




this hose goes no were and there is nothing attached to the fitting under neath it, if you want more pics I'll try to get better ones, thanks!

I don't have a picture of the fittings handy, but it should be easy to trace the lines. Follow the large and small sliver lines that cross in front of the engine (pictured below) as they head towards the firewall (on the left of the picture). You will find the recharge fittings on both about 30cm from the firewall.

Better pictures and arrows would help us figure out what exactly you're talking about here. There's about 568.4 lines shown in those pictures, and from your question it seems you have a high degree of cluelessness when mucking about under the hood of a car, so it isn't clear what you think is what, or what you're talking about.

Pietrino;
If you look hard enough, you can still recharge the FD system with R12 if you dont have any leaks.

In my area I can go to 5 different shops within the tri-city area that still work with R12. But you're not in the US so it might be different.

Yes in my area is very hard to find r12 and i know that if you find is expensive. And i'm not sure my A\C has no leak. Thanks

Many thanks for the link, doing research before i only found a good thread on the 2°gen. Now i have a good one on 3°gen thanks to you ;-)

BTW OP...

The High and Low side ports are on the Right side along the frame rail (sitting in the car looking forward)

In this case, they will be next to the cramped space of the turbos and steering linkage. Have fun

remember his is a JDM car RHD , so the heater core is on the left side in his car , and
I think the lines dont make the same runaround that our LHD cars do since the compressor is right next to the heater core.
