You cannot solder refrigeration lines--they have to be brazed. If
you're going to do that, you can braze in service ports. You'll also
need a swagging tool (not very expensive). As far as refrigerant
capacity, that should be listed on the model/serial number plate or in
a service manual. You'll need a very accurate scale to dispense the
refrigerant. Too much will acutally reduce cooling. Plus, you'll
probably need to add new oil and a filter/dryer.

Did the old compressor blow out? Or is it just leaking? If it's blown
out, you'll have to flush the whole system and possibly replace the
TMX valve (if it has one)

What type freon do these units take...r134a, r12, r22, etc?

Ok..I answered one of my on questions, its r134a refrigerant. However
as a couple of people already pointed out there are no service ports
to be found. If I decide to replace the compressor is there a way to
make it easy to vaccum down and add new freon? (such as soldering in
a port) Last but not least how much does the system hold?
