If you are talking about the pounds PRESSURE (PSI), it depends on the ambient temperature. That information is what is on the dual set of gages that you see refrigeration techs using. If you are talking about the weight of the refrigerant to fully charge an empty system, there should be a sticker under the hood, near the AC system that tell you the type and how much to charge the system, it will also tell you how much and type oil to add. That all pertains to a completely empty system. The amounts specified by the Toyota are very important.
Also, you know that an empty system has to have the system purged of air and moisture, That has to be done by pumping a vacuum on the system for about an hour. That usually provides a vacuum of about 22"hg. If you have replaced a major component or have disconnected any connections you will have to do that. Knowing exactly how much oil to put into the system is a challenge unless you know that there is no oil in there now. So it take some expertise and equipment to charge a system correctly.
ALSO, IT IS IMPORTANT THAT I TELL YOU AND THAT YOU KNOW THAT IT IS AGAINST THE LAW TO CONTINUAL RECHARGE AN AC SYSTEM THAT HAS A LEAK OF REFRIGERANT. THE LAW SAYS YOU HAVE TO CORRECT THE LEAK BEFORE YOU CHARGE THE SYSTEM.

2000 Toyota Sienna. Does it have a low pressure switch? A/C Compressor clutch not engaging. 5A fuse ok and dash A/C light lights. System has some pressure. How do I identify the clutch wire to engauge...

The Sienna has had problems with the relay that controls the clutch going bad. Under the hood, next to the battery, there is a fuse and relay box. One will be marked magnetic clutch or an abbreviation of that. If the part number is 90987-02022, it should be changed out to the updated relay with a part number of 90987-02028. It 's around $70 from Toyota or you could find an aftermarket one for about $17 at your local automotive parts store. On some models the a/c light will blink if this is the case but not on all. You could swap it with the fog or possibly the horn relay to see if this is the problem.

Toyota Sienna 2000 Mini-van. The driver's side power window.

I have the same problem with my 2000 Sienna.Probably window motor will need replacement. Frustrating. Turns out I have a lot of the same wear and tear issues with my Sienna as others. Automatic door sticks open or continually pops open, snapped rear hatch, tire pressure sensor always on. C'mon Toyota, I hope your newer models are more robust. FYI we take VERY good care of our van.
