Two cans from empty should be enough. I just put two cans in mine yesterday after replacing a line I broke, and she feels like a meat locker now. Make sure you have it on max while you fill it, and give it some time. Sometimes it takes a while to get that last little bit out of the can.

i think the car calls for 1.5lbs
also the low side should be around 30psi and the high side should be about six times that
did you replace your accumulator? you should if you had it down to zero lbs

haha, you can buy a cheap dye test kit at your local auto parts store. They actually work well.
That compressor will be leaking probably so you have to get under the car with the UV light.
Remember you check your evaporator drain. If there’s dye coming out of that it’s bad also
