Yes, because the entire system de-pressurized when you added a new component to the system.
Never, unless you suspect of not cooling then there is a leak somewhere. A repair will need to be performed before recharging.
21.1" vacuum
This is not a DIY job. You have neither the tools, nor the knowledge to do this correctly. You must have a leak or it would not need recharging. It is illegal to add refrigerant to a system with a leak. The leak must be repaired before the system is recharged. Take it to a professional for repair and recharging.
Shampoo is used before conditioner
i normally do, before recharging
no it won't I tried it before and it was easy
Something is wrong. Seek professional help before you get hurt.
this will lengthen the batteries' lifetime.
No you can out a hot oil treatment on before or after a conditioner
Possibly a low refrigerant charge
It means the battery will operate a device for 8 hours before recharging is needed.
You do not add freon. The refrigerant is R134a and if you buy a recharge kit at auto supply it comes with all needed instructions. The first thing to do is look at all of the connectors (usually about 4) on the lines leading from the a/c compressor to the firewall. If there is the least indication of oil at any connector you have an o ring leak. All O rings should be replaced before charging. This involves pulling system to vacuum and recharging after replacing O rings.
