It's very easy. each AC line has a valve like a tire-one for high pressure side, one for low, probably with a cap on each. Get a can from an auto parts store it should come with a short hose and possibly a pressure guage. Get the one with the guage and you can save it to check it whenever you need to. Each side will only take about 100#. Just thread onto each valve, invert can and spray in there. Following the lines you should find the valves. Sometimes they are color coded-blue is low. If you hear a leak or lose it afterwards, it will have to be fixed before you can recharge.

It does not contain any Freon (R-12). R134A is the proper refrigerant. My advice to you is to let a professional do the work. By reading the question you are not qualified to charge the unit, because you dont know where to put your gauges on the system.

What type of freon would be used for a lennox ac unit r111-r134a or something else?

It depends on what year the unit was built. Most AC units for your Home used R-22. A new freon 410A is used in the newer systems. There has been a slow switch over from about mid 2005 until now but the EPA has banned AC units from being built with R-22 now so any unit you buy today will have the 410A.
