Just go to: http://gmownercenter.yahoo.com (The Chevrolet Owner Center - Hosted by Yahoo) If you don't have a Yahoo account, you will need to create one to enter (no cost). From there, just answer the questions about the vehicle you have. After you add your vehicle, you'll see a link to download the owners manual. If you add your truck based on year and model, you won't see Silverado in the list under Chevrolet. You will have to choose 1500 but it will be the correct owner's manual.

It contains no Freon. It contains R134 Refrigerant. If it is low, that means it has a leak. It is illegal to add refrigerant without first repairing the leak. Take it to a professional for repair and recharge.

You can add Freon to your 1999 Chevrolet S 10 pickup truck cooling system, through the air conditioning compressor ports. The ports are located on the top of the compressor. You would add r134 refrigerant through the low pressure port located on the accumulator/dryer.
Connect a freon gauge and tank to the low side ac port of the 97 DeVille. With the engine running and the ac on high, open the freon valve. Shut the valve when the ac gauge reads full.
