Default ac compressor does it need all freon lbs..

I just replaced my a/c compressor on my 98 Honda civic. The guy that put the freon just put 12lbs I didnt have money to buy the other can. Now that i have the other can of freon. I was just wondering if a/c should be (cooling )working properly with those 12lbs? Will it cool even more if I put 19lbs what is should take? Thanks

12 lbs is WAY too much.

Freon = R12

Your A/C system takes only about 1.4 lbs of R134a. Or are you saying that only 12 oz of R134a was added?

Check the pressure first before you add more.

I think the OP means 12oz, not 12lb. (One can)

You should first check the pressure on the ports without adding anything.
