Default Need Pro A/C advice...

OK, so I blew my hard line... the one that goes from the condensor to the orifice. I rubbed a hole in it with my braided stainless turbo cooling water line. I thought it was out of the way enough... wrong. Anyway, I replaced the line but the replacement from Chevy came with the other side of the connection that bolts to the firewall bulkhead fitting as well. I ASSume the reason was because the new pipe setup has a larger connection fitting where the orifice goes. So, I installed it as a set. The old setup had a high pressure fitting on the condensor side of the orifice... and a low pressure fitting on the other side of the orifice. New pipe setup from Chevy... I ASSume to be correct... has no low pressure fitting. So, how the heck do I fill the freon? Doesn't only go on the low pressure side? I'm afraid Chevy gave me the wrong hard pipe. Is there an easy fix for this?... like a hose in another location that has the low pressure fitting?
Thanks,
Bill

Sounds like they sold you part number 15784599 and should have sold you #15785056.
