AC got purged, how much freon is needed to fill it all back up?

Basically I'm just wondering if I am avble to go get a couple of refill kits and fill it back up. How much actual freon is in the system? And if I am not able to do this with a couple of refil kits, how much would a shop charge me for it?

there should be a sticker under the hood that will tell you how much R-134a to put in, NOT FREON R-12!!!!! it isn't much though, I think mine is like 16oz for a 99 chevy cavlier!


This is my 5 cents worth, (normally is would be 2 cents worth but I have adjusted it for inflation)

Car I drive:
99 Chevy Cavalier 2.2L 5 spd man (My daily car)
98 Ford Escort ZX2 4 spd auto

Yep. 2 of the regular size cans will fill the system.

wow. Thanks guys. I Don't have the sticker under the hood anymore so I was kinda at a loss there. I tried to search but guess I didn't use the right keywords. Thanks for the help. Florida is hot with no AC!!
