Winerizing (blowout) sprinkler with Wilkins 975XL RP - Where to attach?

Hello. Please help me out. This is what my RP and set up looks like. Without taking the valve assembly completely out, where would I place the pipe for the air pressure to blow out the lines/heads? The water flows from right to left in the picture. Test cocks are shown and are left to right numbers 4,3,2 and 1.
