It's usually a relatively accessible area under the hood, but you might need a flashlight to see it clearly. Look closely at the AC lines near the compressor; the low-pressure side line will be thinner than the high-pressure line.
It's crucial to be absolutely certain you're connecting to the correct port. Connecting to the high-pressure side can be very dangerous. If you're unsure, consult a repair manual specific to your 1998 Jeep Cherokee model. A visual inspection might not be enough to distinguish between the lines. Consider having an AC professional perform the charging.
