No, it wouldn't. The amount of refrigerant in the system has nothing to do with air flow. Sounds more like a leak in the climate conrol vacuum system somewhere. The popping noise could be a binding or broken vacuum control motor.

The popping under the dash is probably the mode setting motor snapping around and around as it tries to move the blend door. There is a fix that can be done w/o dropping the dash if you poke around here. I won't do the searching for you as I don't know how. It involves boneyarding or buying a plenum, removing the glovebox, using a mirror, and cutting the old plenum... remove motor, door via cut, install 'new', and either glue or tape the old cut back together. Quite a savings over dropping the dashboard.
