I'm in the middle of the process now and I just removed the rearward bolt and loosened the two front-facing AC compressor bolts to inch the compressor out for enough clearance for the high side coupler.

I wanted to have access to the high side port to apply a vacuum to the entire system. I'll just bolt the AC compressor back into place and use the low side port for the actual recharge after applying vacuum.

Thank you for the info.

EDIT:

AC successfully recharged, if I need to top off in the future then the low side port should be sufficient.
