Less is more. 134a is more sensitive to overcharging than r-12, so you really need to be careful and very slow. Use real gauges, watch high and low sides, and use a sensitive digital thermometer to keep watching temps drop. As soon as they gonzo one degree, stop.

Use a giant pusher fan to keep the condenser working at a steady rate.
