What was the result of the yellow dye job? Seems like the entire point of using that is that without it finding the leak is a needle / haystack proposition. At least you know the compressor is good when it has freon, that's a huge plus. All I remember from AC school for cars (I was 16) is a high pressure and low pressure side, make sure you get that right if you intend on screwing with it yourself otherwise bad juju can take place.
