Hello,

In order to recharge the HVAC system you do not have to access the compressor.
You will need to find the low pressure side port.
The low pressure side hose is the one with larger diameter.
It's important to keep an eye on the pressure as you fill up the system and careful not to overfill it.

Here are some helpful videos of how to charge the A/C:
