One way to tell if you're low on coolant on a central AC unit is to feel the air coming out of the vents. If the air is warm or room temperature, it is a sign that you are low on coolant.
No
You need a filter retainer
When you say, "AC coolant", I suspect that you're actually referring to AC refrigerant. Coolant (aka antifreeze) flows throughout the engine block & radiator, nothing to do with the AC sytem. The refrigerant is also know as R-134a Freon. The AC system capacity for your 2000 Olds Intrigue is 1.85 lbs. For proper charging, however, you'll need a set of gauges to properly charge the "high side" & the "low side". If you don't have gauges, I'd hire it out to an auto technician.
No. But you need to make sure the freon in the AC is full.
First clue would be a HOT house.
check the upper intake manifold gasket you will need to remove the ac compressor to check this
You will have to replace the refrigerant, but not the engine coolant.
There could be several reasons that could be the cause of your problem. But more than likely the compressor is not working or you have lost all of your coolant. If it's a window AC then get a new one, if it's a Central HVAC then find a good HVAC Tech to check your compressor and Coolant Levels.
The coolant goes into the reservoir only that says coolant. You don't put it in the radiator.
how do you check freon on central ac and what should the guages read.
r-134
