You really can't know what's going on inside the system unless you have a full gauge set, without knowing what the high side is doing you're working blind. Harbor Freight sells an inexpensive set that works OK. (Currently on sale for $52.00, and with a commonly-available HF 20% off coupon it will cost about $42.00.)
You can pick up a thermometer that sits in your A/C vent for a few bucks at just about any auto parts store.
To get as much out of the R134a can as possible sit it in a pan of hot water (just from a hot water faucet, not boiling hot from the stove!). This will help keep the pressure up in the can to force more refrigerant out.
