Yes, in order for the compressor to take on the new coolant and oil charge the compressor ideally should be running. It is posiible to begin charging the system with freon prior to compressor initiation, however to get an accurate reading of the pressure in the system the compressor should be cycling with differential valve operating properly. If it is clogged or the compressor is not cycling then then low side reading will give an elevated pressure while charging the system. Does that make sense?

It is either on or near the recievr dryer in the right rear of the engine compartment. To corrrectly add freon, you need gauges and a refrigerant recovery system
You need gauges to repair AC.

You need to use charging gauges.

I have a 2001 Focus with 209,000 miles and it is still running well.
Perhaps a clogged fuel filter.
a ford fusion does not have freon it has 134r take it to a mechanic
freon capacity in 06 Ford Taurus
it is under the passenger side headlight facing towards the wheel
