Default AC low port location

Where in the world is the AC low port location on a 2007 Ram 2500 Hemi? My repair manual shows it right by the accumulator near the back firewall but there's no port there. There's a port right by the radiator at the front corner but that's on an awfully thin line. Any clues?

it should be coming right off the condenser at the firewall. the line with the Low port will be noticably thicker. also the cap will have a L on it and my cap was gray unlike the black cap on the thinner line near the raditator.

Can't you follow the line off the Compressor? That's the easiest way. I know it' an obvious answer but it's raining out and I dont feel like getting wet as it's muggy/sticky out and I'm having my morning joe..haha

I tried to. Seems like a simple solution, but I can't see any port on the line. It looks like a completely closed circuit. My manual clearly shows it at the accumulator on the firewall and there's no port there. I also checked off my condenser and nothing. My 2500 is a Snow Chief model which I know has some modifications from the standard 2500 but this is driving me nuts!

It's on top of the accumulator. The accumulator is that black can passenger side of the firewall. Ya know, the one that drips moisture.

Son of a...! It was right in front of me the whole time!! I never thought to look at the actual accumulator. I was tracing the lines the whole time. Never seen the port on the accumulator not on the line. Thanks Dirty Dog!!
