The sticker inside the engine compartment says 2 lbs of refrigerant. So I put in two cans. I also have a buddy with access to a vacuum pump and guages, so he pullled a vacuum the system and filled the two cans. He also confirmed that the guage readings were correect for a fully charged system. I'm not sure what the readings should be.

p.s. If you haven't already done so, you may want to consider replacing the expansion valve and receiver-drier. I picked up both (new) locally for far less than what Vertex wanted. I believe the receiver drier locally was about $13 and the expansion valve about $20. Neither is too difficult of a task to replace. It was recommended to me to replace both with the conversion.
