Steven, I use the AC chart from any other VW Bentley from the 80s or early 90s. They all have them except for the Vanagon. On the low side you want to see between 35-40 psi wen fully charged. The high side goes up to around 250 psi, maybe higher when fully charged but I usually just pay attention to the low side unless the system is fully charged and still not working properly. Also the low side metal pipe coming out of the compressor will start to get cold and stay cold when the system is about full. I have been servicing these systems for many years and if you follow these guidelines you should be able to charge a normal system. If you have any other questions please feel free to pmail me.
