A few questions.
If I dont have a freon for a particular amount of time and now need to get it back in what are the problems I will run into? On top of that there is air that blows in the car but of course not cool air.
If I do happen to fill it with freon is there a recommended amount or is there a special tool I will need to measure this or something?
I read on another article about filling it with freon there **it is in the front center by the radiator. The fitings are different on the high and the low so you should not be able to hook it up if its wrong.
low= big line. High= smaller line**
So on top of this will I need a special type of freon or a special tool as well to do this?

You need a manifold gauges, use R134a freon and charge it on the low side

When you say "charge it on the low side" Is this just pushing the freon slowly or the low side where the (i think) by the radiator?
