Not sure but might be down after the condenser by the radiator. Pass side.
Some are by the dryer. Aluminum can looking deal.

I’d assume it’s similar to the Mach . Pass side by the fire wall, high side up by the radiator. It could be hidden by radiator hose or something. Just follow the line coming from beside the radiator on the pass side it’ll be close.
If you have the gauges hooked up and it can’t get it to leak it may well be the schrader valve(s). The gauges being hooked up will seal that leak
Little update:
Today I started up the car and took it for a drive. I turned the AC on just to see if the compressor was cycling, and it did. So would this eliminate the pressure switch being bad?
Next up will be buying/renting gauges and vacuum pump.

Not necessarily.
Is it cycling quickly? Like cycles on and then immediately kicks back off?

No. It cycles on, then off for maybe 5 seconds, then on.

Ok that’s definitely too fast.
You’re telling the system to run. The switches want to see pressure building and then decreasing.
Typically, with no Freon, you never build pressure so it keeps cycling back on.
Grab those gauges. I had good luck the first time but last time rented them from Oreilleys the orings were shot.

Thanks will do. I'll probably buy some from harbor freight or Amazon.

Same for me. Have not messed with it in months. Stupid car.
99% of the time this is because there is no refrigerant and it’s not building pressure.
You’ll want to add some dye with refrigerant and use a UV light and glasses to find the leak.
I’d find a shop you trust. This isn’t fun work and you need to buy a lot of tools/equipment that you’ll never use again.

I have gauges and some stuff. There is a guy here that's really good, and that's all he does.
I'm sure being there. Need it here for sure.
Run a can of the freon that has the ultra violet glow and then use a black light to see if you can spot the leak. If you cant then I hate to tell you it's the evaporator core. This is what you need to do to change the Evap Core;
Complete interior disassembly including seats, console, dash and steering.
Removal of intake, blower and everything else in the way of the nuts holding the Airbox to the firewall. It's a terrible job. Make sure to change the heater core while you are at it.

Mine went out this past summer again! i had to replace the compressor about 6 years ago purchase one from LMR worked great, really dont use A/C much either except on long trips on the highway. I noticed it wasnt cooling i suspected the compressor again looked under and compressor had green oily stain all over it? I assume a seal went out?
I hope not. Doesn't look like fun to replace.
