Ok, just want to make sure I am on the right track. Is the low side service port on the back side of the compressor with the red screw cap?

I ran a couple of bottles of stop leak through it and some refrigerant. My next question is what PSI do I charge it to? Do I read the gauge with the engine and compressor running or just a static pressure?

Now that it's charged its reading 80 psi at static and 50 psi while running. Now my AC belt squeals when the AC compressor is running. Seems like a sign that it might be over charged. Anyone have some insights or advice?
 
Backed it off to 28 PSI and tightened the belt. Cold Air! Woohoo!
Good news indeed.
I had to replace my compressor and clutch. :bang:

And the new owner surely appreciates it ;)

Probably owe you a few more of these :beer:
