The proper way is to evacuate all the freon first and then refill it to the factory spec. There should be a silver looking canister on the left side of the car, connected to that canister should be some silver lines, theses are your a/c lines. now follow those lines. There are going to be two valves that protrude from the metal lines, one from each. These are called your high side service port, and your low side service port. Most commonly the high side has a red cap, and the low side has a blue cap. Specifically, for the 390 engine, to get to the LOW side one needs to remove the splash panel under the car. The valve is on the driver's side near the compressor and is horizontal and points to the outside of the car. Mine has a black cap on it. The HIGH side valve is on the passenger side near the radiator and is clearly visible. Mine has a black cap on it as well. Acquire a set of r134a refrigerant gauges and attach them to the service ports. The blue hose attaches to the low side, the red hose to the high side, and the yellow is connected to your freon source. Turn your air conditioning on to the highest setting, set all the way to cold. If your system has a "max a/c", turn that on as well. After a minute or two, read your gauges High side should be in the approximation of 200-350psi, low side between 25-35psi. NOTE: these numbers are APPROXIMATION. The specifications for your particular vehicle should be followed. The freon is added to the LOW side while your system is running. Adding freon to the high side while your system is operating can cause your freon can to explode.
