Should be around the passanger side strut tower/airbox/battery area. Maybe under a plastic cover. Not sure about the 2.8.

You can't charge the a/c on a 96 without the specific adapters. There is no low port, you would have to tap into a valve on the a/c compressor or take out the a/c pressure switch and use an adapter to charge it. Have the dealer or special shop do it for you.
