Need to evacuate the system

I installed a new Aux Fan this past weekend and recharged the system. AC was working great the last 2 days, but I wanted it to be just a little bit colder... so I decided to add more refrigerant . AC is now a bit warmer and it sounds like the compressor is making some noise. I am pretty sure I overcharged the system and now I have to evacuate it...hopefully I don't need a new compressor. Just a reminder to anyone doing this...don't overdue it or simply use the proper equipment when recharging the refrigerant (use a low and high side gauge).
