Basic rule of thumb is 2.5 times the ambient temperature for the High Side pressure and 28-32 psi on the Low side.
This is measured with the AC on Max, High blower, doors open and engine at 1500rpm.

You'll have a problem finding somewhere to put a VOV on you're 78. It uses an expansion valve. No orifice tube.
