I'm really close to having this thing put back together, but I think I'm missing one more part. If anybody out there could help me out I would be eternally grateful!

I've replaced my O-Rings, my dryer and my compressor. I'm ready to hook everything up and take it to pull vacuum and charge it, but I don't see how or where they will be able to tap into the system to charge it. My system is not stock. The two hoses in my engine compartment end with a threaded/flared connection that would happily screw right onto my new compressor. Only problem is that there is no one way valve to hook up to the refrigerant machine.

Here's what I have: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-oX2LsNl_v9c/VVEYkZRdyZI/AAAAAAAALzo/CMKGbGGP3-k/w362-h644-no/20150511_163429.jpg

And here's what I'm guessing I should have: http://images.thesamba.com/vw/gallery/pix/1207842.jpg

Anybody know if there's some kind of adapter that would screw in between my threaded hose ends and the compressor that would have this valve on it?
