Well, the AC in my daily driver (2001 camaro) doesn't seem to be blowing cold anymore.

I had it recharged last March (2009). I've been running it a lot recently and did a lot last summer.

Never done the recharges myself.

read up on it a bit here, seems pretty straightforward.

anything else that I'll need to be aware of that isn't covered in the link?

To the shizzle in a can. It plugs stuff up and you can't set the pressures or the weights right.

Take it to a pro.

I'm going to agree with Paul, I just finished the A/C portion of the auto program over at PCC. With what I know now, I wouldn't even bother with the ol' can and hose.
A shop will be able to hook it to a real machine that can see your high/low pressures, diagnose possible problems and find leaks much easier. Much better than spending 40 bucks on refridgerant and a hose then finding that it still has a problem.

Thanks for the input guys. Guess I'll let a shop take care of it again.
