No.
Originally this car had R12 refrigerant. It may have since been updated to accept R134a. The coolant/radiator system is not part of the air conditioning system. But the hot antifreeze-coolant is used for the heating system...
When discussing the use of freon (or chlorofluorocarbon as it is known) it usually refers to refrigeration and air conditioning. When talking about cars, freon gas is used in the Air conditioning unit. It it sometimes used by racing cars in the radiator in leu of regular coolant (or anti-freeze) but this is not a common practice. On regular cars, coolant is an oil based product placed in the cars radiator and reservoir diluted with water. It's function is to allow the radiator fluid (coolant and water), to be heated and cooled beyond the natural point of water to aid in the cooling of the cars engine.
There is no such thing as Air Conditioning coolant.
Bolted to the normal coolant radiator. (in between the rad and the front bumper)
compressor, condenser, radiator(not your coolant radiator, its the smaller one infront), and evaporator are the four components
Removing a radiator from a Ford Crown Victoria requires draining the coolant, removing the larger coolant-to-transmission lines and separating it from the air conditioning condenser. The last step requires removing its stand-alone brackets, after which the radiator will easily slide out.
Check the following............................. 1. Cooling fan operation. 2. Radiator cap. 3. Thermostat.
The engine computer uses the coolant temperature sensor and the air conditioning pressure transducer to decide when to operate the radiator fan. The coolant temperature sensor is located near the thermostat housing on top of the engine. The ac transducer is on the line between the compressor and condenser.The engine computer uses the coolant temperature sensor and the air conditioning pressure transducer to decide when to operate the radiator fan.

There may be other reasons for the vehicle to be overheating but yes if you have let the reservoir run dry then it wont have suction to draw fluid back into the radiator so you will have to fill the radiator as well.
There are many options in Portland for air conditioning repair. You can go to AAA Heating & Cooling, Inc or to Mac's Radiator & Air Conditioning.
It strains any impurities from the coolant.
No, a radiator does not contain freon, as freon is a refrigerant used in air conditioning systems, not in vehicle cooling systems. Radiators typically use coolant or antifreeze to regulate engine temperature. If there is a leak in a vehicle's cooling system, it would involve coolant rather than freon. However, if you are experiencing issues with your air conditioning system, it may indicate a freon leak in that specific system instead.
