Default A/C blowing warm

Used the A/C for the first time since winter and it was blowing cool, felt like about 65-70 degrees.
So I have 2 questions -

What refrigerent type is used in the 01 models, 134a?

Anybody know how much in pounds the system takes?

There should be a label with that information under the hood, mine is on the right shock tower. Answer is 1lb 7oz, 134a. There is a high/low pressure/temperature chart up in the FAQ sticky.

Should be 134a (as test point states), almost everything is nowadays. R12 was phased out in the late 80's due to the pollution if I recall correct.

Also, if it's a frequent problem with the A/C losing it's coolness, make sure you don't have any leaks.
