Ere is the low port for recharging air conditioner on 1989 Chevrolet Caprice?

The low-pressure port for recharging the air conditioner on a 1989 Chevrolet Caprice is typically a smaller diameter fitting located on one of the refrigerant lines near the compressor. It's usually blue (though sometimes it might be unmarked and you'll need to consult a wiring diagram or service manual to be sure). The high-pressure port is typically larger and red.

However, I cannot definitively tell you exactly where it is located without visual access to your vehicle. There is significant variation in exact placement based on the specific model and even minor trim levels of the 1989 Caprice. The lines can snake their way through the engine bay in slightly different ways.

To locate it yourself:

1. Consult a repair manual: A Haynes or Chilton manual for your specific year and model Caprice will have diagrams showing the AC system components and the location of the low-pressure port. This is the most reliable method.

2. Visual Inspection: Look closely at the AC lines near the compressor. The low-pressure side usually has a smaller diameter line. Look for the blue cap or fitting.

3. Use Caution: Working with refrigerant can be dangerous. If you're not experienced in AC system maintenance, it's best to have a qualified mechanic perform the recharge. Improper handling of refrigerant can result in injury or environmental damage.

In short: While I've given you general information, precise location requires referring to your vehicle's documentation or a professional's expertise.
