So how do you recharge the system or check it?

Directly in front of timing belt cover on frame rail is where the low side port is located. High side is by right hood latch.
The system on that car uses an expansion valve and you can only correctly charge it by evacuating and charging by weight.
For diagnostics you can add refrigerant but it should be done while monitoring hi and low pressures with engine at 1500 rpm.
Expansion valve issues can cause no cooling with correct refrigerant level in system.
