??How much refrigerant and oil type??
if all you did was take the gas out you just have to put gas back in, unless somehow you lost oil. make sure you vacume the system out to at lease 1000 - 750 microns before you charge it. system capacity of refrigerant is in the owner manual or i think it is also under the hood on a sticker.

System capacity is 1.5 lbs. Did you evacuate the system professionally of just take it apart and "let 'er blow" . If you did the latter then you DID lose oil and it'll have to be replaced. If it was evacuated then just add the freon. If the system is left open for more than 15 minutes then the correct way to do it is to evacuate the system for 15 minutes or until it'll hold a vacuum ( if there's moisture in the system it will NOT hold a vacuum ) then recharge the system with 1.5 lbs of r134.

1 once of oil is alot!
When you open the system, you should replace the receiver/drier before you vacuum and recharge.
Driers are the big tin cans with the black hoses and cost about $75
We need a separate topic section in this board to cover air conditioning issues; this is very important and represents a big hole in the board. Please ask your addministrator to add a separate topic for AC!
