where is the refrigerant fill? After replacing the radiator I accidently loosened some of the lines and have nothing in there.. well at least I think that is the reason the A/C isn't workin.

There should be tag that notes the refigerant amount. I think mine was 32 oz., just short of 3 cans. However, you should evacuate the system first with a vacuum pump to remove any moisture contamination as regrigerant plus water yeilds an acid - not good. Also, you should always fill, through the LOW side only (if you have to ask you shouldn't do this), and use a decent set of manifold gauges so you know your high/low side pressures as you are filling. Always use safety glasses and gloves.
