R134 conversion

Well, I decided what the heck and bought a R134 conversion kit. The price was only $34 and I couldnt buy the charging hose, adaptors and freon for that price separately.

Besides I dont have to bother with the license and trouble procuring freeze12 and r12 anymore.

Ok here is my question. Where is the suction valve? I can find the high side valve out by the dryer and I can find 2 valves on the back of the compressor, but no low side valve where I would expect to find one on the firewall area. Dont tell me they put it inside the car?

The 2 valves on the compressor are paired with the high side and the low side hoses so I am assuming I can charge on the valve located by the large suction hose.

Is this correct or should there be another charging point?
