Do it right, use a gauge, charge it to ~30 psi on the low side. Best way is to use a set of manifold gauges so you can monitor the high side. DO NOT attempt to fill from the high side as it will make the refrigerant can explode! (That 30 psi is with the system RUNNING. It will jump when you add the refrigerant, and then if you turn the can valve off it will drop as the refrigerant is cycled through.) Should take about a pound and a half from dead empty. Best thing to do is get one of the cans that has the oil and everything mixed in already, as no oil = toasted compressor.
