If you are not trained at working on A/C you might want to leave it to the professionals.
I just had a very good friend taken to the emergency room when he was fiddling with a A/C hose and it burst on him. Got a full shot of gas to the face and blinded him for a while. This system can hurt you if you make a mistake. He was out of work for a week over this...
The high pressure side is the one coming out of the compressor with the smaller tubing or hoses. Low pressure side is the one coming out of the compressor with the larger hose or tubing.
ALWAYS USE GAUGES IF YOU ARE NOT 100% SURE OF WHAT YOU ARE WORKING WITH! Hooking a freon container up to the high side will turn it into a hand grenade. They are well known to explode if not done correctly.
Not trying to scare you but do not need another person going to the ER over A/C repairs.
