I assure you that if you don't get a leak test done and the problem fixed you will have to go through this next year. You have to fix the problem not put a band aid on it.
I know I am not looking forward to 100* today. Texas is too damn hot in the summer.
After the leak test,there is at least a couple of things left to do.

The freon that was lost was replaced by air.The system needs to be pulled down (evacuated) by vacuum to remove the air & moisture .After replacing the receiver/dryer and after fixing the leak.

Like Steve said,you just got a band aid slapped on it.
