IT's not too hot yet but my A/C is no longer getting cold so it looks like I have to get it recharged. Do you guys usually recharge it yourselves or take it somewhere?

Very easy, kneel down and face towards your car and ASK: She will tell ya.
Just kidding!
You don't have any engine pics in your locker so I can't tell you. But if yours has been converted, you can tell that there're different adaptors(retrofit kit) at your compressor and the dryer; they usually look bigger than the R12 adaptors and come with Red and Blue. There's a chance that your car has been converted but the sticker was not put on.
To really identify, has it been converted? You can see from the adaptors.(that's my own method) If your car has not been converted to R134a yet, it's advised to take it to the shop and they have the equipment to do it properly for you...
I'm sure someone can explain better to you later...I only converted my yellow svx once.
