Question
I can't find the low pressure side fitting for the ac on my wife's 2001 Ford escort, 2 liter transverse mounted engine

Answer
It is on the left side as your looking at the engine from the front.In the corner just behind the headlight.You will see the sensor and it should have a small black dust cap with  a letter L on the top.The low side is always smaller than the high side thickness wise.Just follow the pipes fron the A/C condensor on the front of the car and you will find it.
