I recently retrofitted the AC refrigerant in my 88 camry from R-12 to 134a. I looked in the owner's manual for the listed amount, but no luck. Not knowing the listed amount, I didn't wanna overcharge it..so I only charged it with one can (the kit came with two 15- Oz cans from EZ-Chill)of 134a. But now the ac/econ light has started blinking when on and it doesn't blow as cold air. Thinking of charging it with the remaining can.. But I would really like to know the listed capacity for the refrigerant (the can says charge with 85% of listed capacity). Does anyone know where I can find this info for an 88 camry? I looked under the hood too, nothing there.. Thanks.

Charge it until the view window shows no bubbles when the air conditioning is running at max.

Brian, what do you mean by view windows? Sorry, I am a newbie..

There is a view window (sight glass) on the top of the receiver/dryer (cylindrical object with tubing attached near the radiator). Just follow the tubing from the compressor.

If you are evacuated, it holds 1.75 lbs refrigerant and 4 oz. of compressor lube.
