You could do this in the Walmart parking lot, the low pressure port is on the drivers side near firewall next to the engine on the larger silver line going down to the compressor. WEAR SAFETY GLASSES AT ALL TIMES IF YOU ATTEMPT THIS.
There is definitely no pressure. Even Midas confirmed this. Midas says there is a huge leak at the A/C lines and the compressor. He says there is no need to change the compressor, but he can't fix it. The dealer says: oh let's change the compressor and then find out where the leak is!! If it's something as simple as a gasket, then I need to find the right mechanic to do this.
