Refill A/C System

During my turbo install I removed both radiators, causing the freon (or r134?) to discharge into the atmosphere. It was actually kind of funny because I had no clue what I just did. At any rate, I now need to refill the system and I have a couple of questions.

1: Is this something that can be done with one of those A/C recharge kits from an auto parts store? I have heard that some cars require the dealer to use special tools to do this.

2: Aside from the refrigerant, what else needs to be done? I have not removed the compressor, but should I be replacing/refilling any oil in the system?


Thanks for any help you guys provide!
