Recharging the AC yourself is usually a bad idea unless you are AC trained and have the proper equipment. You can get R22 but be prepared to pay dearly for a tank. You won't find it in cans like 134
The proper technique requires evacuation of the old refrigerant and oil ( evacuation and recovery to be legal:)), During the evacuation a leak test can be performed. Charging with the proper weight of refrigerant and oil. Replacement of the drier may be desirable also
