How much refrigerant does a 1999 Ford Ranger use?
Also, keep in mind that the different years of Rangers use different amounts of refrigerant. The 97 has 25 ounces which is a hair over two 12 ounce cans, where the 94 uses 28 ounces (although I have seen 36 ounces for the 94 as well, but I believe that might be for the R12 version) the 1999 uses 30 ounces.

Can You retrofit a Ford Ranger with R12?
If you are looking to do a retrofit as R12 is now illegal to buy or sell, (at least for the average consumer that does not have a proper license to buy and sell R12) you will want to do some more research on what parts you need to replace and how much refrigerant to use, what type of oil to use etc. R134a is a fairly inexpensive refrigerant.
What to do if your Ford Ranger does not have air conditioning?
Also check the blend doors in the dash, as this is a trouble spot for the Ranger. If any of these are bad, the A/C will not come on or will not work right. Also make sure the belt tensioner is working properly. Check the condenser to see if the fins need cleaning and / or straightening.

What do I need to resurrect my Ford Ranger?
You will need an A/C manifold gauge set, and a vacuum pump to evacuate the system. You can buy the manifold gauge set at AutoZone or O’Reilly for about $90 or Harbor Freight for about $50. The pump is quite abit more expensive. I recommend borrowing or renting one for this, but Craigslist can be a source as well.
