True it would seem that way, but I can't see how the system could operate correctly on only one pound of freon. It was originally designed to use 2.5 lbs., but a service bulletin changed it to 2.25 pounds. I presently have 2 pounds installed. ( My post said 36 oz., but this was not correct, it's 32) I may try recovering one pound from the system tonight.
