I had to convert the air conditioning to R-134, now I'm wondering in anyone
can tell me how much refrigerant and at what measurement should I use?

You will have bubbles in the sight glass. R-134a is filled to pressure
parameters, not volume. Don't go higher than 30# on the low side. Have to
go by feeling the hoses.

Ahem, feeling the hoses? Better idea pick up a set of
gauges for refrigeration work, they are not expensive and
JC Whitney has them. Also 30# on the low side.... at what
outside temperature? Trust me it makes a difference.
