You CAN just add a little at a time until the AC runs without cycling on and off, but don't add too much or you can destroy the seals of the compressor. That process is not recommended, especially since gauges are relatively inexpensive. To accurately charge the system, yes a meter is required.

How do you recharge an air conditioner on a 1981 Oldsmobile Delta 88?

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.
