Do It Yourself A/C???

I have been living with my A/C not working for the past 2 years. I had it charged up in 2006 and in 2007 it was blowing warm air instead of cold. I went to a local shop to get it topped up again, since our summer in Ontario lasts about a month I did not want to go through the whole diagnosis thing. No one would charge up my A/C without doing a full diagnosis at a high fee. One shop wanted $300 just to check the pressure in my A/C system when I know it is probably zero. I have read and seen a lot of the do-it-yourself kits and was wondering if they are any good and most of all if they are safe for my 2002 Astro. The Astro calls for 134A refrigerant but all I can find is what replaces the 134A. They also have stop leak and oils and so on, just to confuse us a little more. I was looking at a product from Duracool, anyone have any suggestions on which product would work best and is easiest to use??? I was going to leave it for another year, but we are going on vacation in a couple of weeks and it would be nice to have the A/C.

Thanks for any help!
