Sounds like too much already. My Haynes A/C manual (yeah, I know) says 2.75 pounds of r12 for a '91 APV. R134a conversions run best with about 85% of the r12 amount installed. You run the risk of 'slugging' the compressor with liquid refrigerant if it's overfull (among other problems).

I gotta go to work but I was thinking cause the van has a fan control for the back of the van it might have a extra evaporator there too . could that mean it might require more than the avg. car/truck?I will check for extra evaporator later . but maybe the manuel has something ?I figure your manuel is different cause you mentioned a a/c manuel I have the van manuel ."
