Yes.
The connectors by the compressor is called the "high side" and the one you
used is called the "low side" or "suction side" connector.
Besides, they are different fittings so the fill kit shouldn't be able
to connect there anyway.

The refrigerant won't go in, unless you use the correct valve. That is
because the high side will have more pressure in it than your refrigerant
can. I believe that what you want, is the small fitting, on the big pipe.
Location isn't as important as this.

Other way around. On 134a it's small fitting, small pipe. The liquid
side of the system. Unless the mfg departed from standard there is no
way to confuse high and low side in the new systems.

The easiest way is to follow the plumbing.
(low) (high)
..-evaporator === accumulator === compressor --- condenser --.
|_________________________________________________ __________|
Line size is based on what's in it. thin '-' is liquid thick '=' is gas
High is almost always on the compressor.
Low is almost always on the firewall run back by the hood hinge.

Re: 1998 Cherokee XJ Air Con Problem
This is a great deal
<http://www.acsource.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=8>
(Hope OE doesn't chop up my link!)
Those fittings are pretty darn expensive, considering that my set of gauges
cost about $100, and came with one of each, plus the manifold, gauges, and
extra long hoses too!
Most people want to feed vapor into the vapor side of the system. It takes
a little longer, but things are more tranquil that way.
