Yes, overcharging can damage the compressor and also make the system not blow
cold air.  

Most of the re-charge kits available come with a gauge on them.  I would
highly recommend using one of the hoses with the gauge so you are not blindly
adding coolant.  

I have two of those hoses that I put on the cans when needed.  I used to carry
one around with me in the Monte Carlo when I had the leak.  Now that it is
fixed, that isn't really necessary.
