Turned on the a/c yesterday and let it run for a while and it never got cold.
A/C compressor working so is the clutch...just won't get cold. Looked at my CD-Rom for 95 Ford cars and seems to be that the system needs to be charged. Need to check the system pressure, should be minimum of 50 psi according to service guide on CD-Rom. How and where do I check the pressure at? I noticed a scraeder valve connection on the a/c line can I just attach a pressure gauge here (like in the fuel system) and check the pressure?
Also, anyone know how much a recharge would cost? (It's a 95 with a 5.0L so it's already got the 134a refrigerant type)

It's like $30 bucks for new refrigerant from Kragen.

The refrigerant is in a closed system and doesn't get consumed. If you refill it, it will only leak out again. You have to find out where its leaking from and fix it first. A common place is the condensor connections.

What's the best way to find the leak? Soap bubble test? Or just take it in to a shop?
