The back of the compressor is usually marked with "S" and "D" at the ports.
The "D" is the discharge side which connects to the hose that goes to the
condenser. The "S" is the suction side which goes to the hose from the
evaporator.

> I got 2 of my redone AC hoses back today and like an idiot I did not mark
where they came from.  I believe the short, blue capped low side was to the
right on the compressor when I;m staring at it and the long, red capped,
high side goes on the left. Is that correct?
