There should be two ports with black caps on the ac lines. One is bigger than the other to help prevent you from hooking up to the wrong side of the compressor.

SOURCE: Locating low pressure valve on 96 explorer for ac recharge

The largest diameter line is the suction which is low. The small one that runs to a coil by radiator is high pressure. If there is no cooling then you may have air in the system which means a leak must be fixed first. Are you sure the compressor is engaging? You should hear it click and the engine bog down a little.

Ac not blowing cold/low pressure too high and high pressure about the same as low pressure side/ compressor engages but no cold air

Pressure has built up in the system possibly from a clogged orifice tube/expansion valve. Replace the orifice tube/expansion valve, thenPull a vacuum on the system and recharge.

Where is the low port located in the engine to recharge the ac for a 2008 Chevy Malibu LTZ 3.6 v6

The low pressure side to the ac will be the Schrader valve that is the smallest size. If you are recharging it yourself try to fit you valve on both valve and you will see what I am talking about.

Where is the low pressure ac port on a 2000 ford explorer xlt

Yup, the last one should be the right one, but if you hear air seeping you will have to replace the valve on it. The valve is hard to find and your best bet is the dealer. It should be fairly inexpensive and comes off just like a tire valve. Once replaced, you can fit your a/c hose on the orifice a recharge it.

I attempted to recharge the AC. I first pulled a vacuum to 30". Started to recharge, low side pressure approx 20#, high side pressure approaching 400 PSi and tripping on high head pressure. What's...

I would say a restriction somewhere.. Likely the expansion valve itself. It should be located in the tubing just before the evaporator. You will have to recover that freon you just put in, pulls the valve and check it.
