You need more than a hose.
An R12 manifold gauge set should be easy to find on Craigslist or Ebay. You'll also need a vacuum pump to remove air/moisture from the system.
There's more to charging an AC system than connecting a container of refrigerant and opening the valve,

Gave 19.99 for the gauge set and 9.99 for the vacuum pump that runs off compressed air. The electric pump is around 50 or 60.
