A/C Problem

ok so i just converted my R-12 to the R-134a or whatever it is. i pumped all the R-12 refrigerant out of the lines for 45 minutes. then i put the new fittings on and charged it with the new refriderant. it works. but only for a little bit. like it will come on for a few minutes then the compressor kicks off for a few minutes and the air gets warm. then it will kick back on and get cool again. does anyone know how much refriderant should be in there. i think i might have just slightly too much or too little. i put 2 12oz cans in.
