On my 83 (with York) it is on the top/front/right of the compressor and the high side valve is top/front/left. The valves are covered by caps similar to valve stem caps on the tires. Your conversion kit should have a valve (and O-ring) which will screw down over the R12 valve (after removing the valve core) to provide the correct hookup for the R134 charging fittings.

The high side was on the lower hose on a metal "T" type fitting and this is where my adapter is located. If the adapter was installed onto the valve on the compressor it would likely rub on the belt.

This car was converted when I bought it...
