Pulled a vacuum on it after I replaced the valve and gasket. Hardest part was getting my big mitts in there. Vacuum held so I pulled a vacuum on the gauges, lines, sight glass, etc. and then pulled the Freon from the storage tank. Put it in some warm water to bring the pressure up. Ended up adding about 12Oz to get close to the 1.09Kg required. I ended up letting a little out, system was down to about 22lbs (pressure @32 for R134a). Need dry ice or a machine to pull it down any further. Basic P=VT from high school.
Not so mysterious now... Don't open the high side to the gauges unless the system is empty and you are pulling a vacuum. Wear gloves and goggles just in case.

Had a 2007 Ford Five Hundred that had this problem watched some Ford Tech Makuloco youtube videos and he mentioned the scroll valve problems on ford and the cheap repair that a/c shops tend to not tell you about. A good friend who worked on my crew for years took over his dad's Auto shop. He told me to bring it in after hours and he would evac. I then removed 2 bolts that were a bitch to get at and replaced the valve. Took it back to the shop he flushed the system ran a pressure check refilled oil and recharged it. Worked like a charm after. The machine is so easy a trained monkey could run it. He didn't want to charge me a dime but I gave him 50 bucks and feel I got a great deal lol.
