Yo to get the system, vacuumed down and see if it is holding a vacuum, i feel that there is a leak in the system that need repairing first, just adding refregrant is a waste of time and money just now until you repair the system correctly.

That needs to be charged with the exact specified weight of refrigerant. It needs to be first totally recovered, vacuumed and charged with the correct charge amount. Before starting the vehicle, disconnect the battery for a minute or 2 to clear the computer codes.
