One can is insufficient to turn on the AC compressor if it is totally empty, you will need at least two, and you may have to jump a low pressure switch. The system will probably take 4 cans but you are wasting your time if you do not vacuum out of the system, that will also tell you if you have a leak, so you don't waste your free-on. This job requires several special tools you better take it into a professional
