Default A/C help

I am recharging my A/C this week. Do you guys know how many ounces of Freon I should buy? My A/C doesn't blow out any cold air at all. I can hear the fan running but no cold air. So I am assuming I am out of freon.

The 350Z uses R-134a refrigerant in addition to using a lubricant for the compressor. I would have the dealer look at it. If you have too little lubricant, the compressor could seize causing co$tly repairs.-

make sure to use a dye to check for a possible leak in the ac system before recharging, otherwise you're just wasting freon.

Another A/C question for you guys:

When i turn the blower to the OFF position, and then when i turn it back on, the A/C *automatically* turns on, and then i have to turn it back off. Ughh is there a workaround to this, or an explanation of why this happens. I feel that by it turning on and me turning it off everytime will bust something in the long run lol.
