If it's blowing heated air (not just uncooled air) then your DCCV has failed and needs to be replaced. Overcharging the refrigerant will just cause more problems, not cool air.

My thoughts exactly. Beat me to it.

DCCV then CCM

Usually a DCCV failure brings a CCM failure. If you replaced the DCCV and lack of A/C or heated condition persists, then the CCM likelyhas a few burnt tracers. Remove CCM and solder jumpers to bridge the burnt tracers.

No, usually it does not on the LS. Perhaps you are thinking of some other car?
