You can check to see if you have sufficient pressure to engage the compressor (anything over 50PSI). You can't check refrigerant level by pressures anyway. The only way to know how much refrigerant is in a system is to totally evacuate it, vacuum it, and recharge with the exact specified weight. The pressures don't mean anything until you have done that.
