A/C system question

[sigman70]

I'm in the process of putting my rebuilt engine back together, and will also be replacing the entire A/C system. I've already got the new compressor and condenser, and will be buying the evaporator and expansion valve next. So my question is this: if I add 2 oz of PAG oil to the compressor, condenser (which came with a new accumulator/drier) and to the evaporator, would that be about right? I believe the system capacity is 6 oz, so I figured to just divide it up equally.

In the service manual it gives you the amount of ounces of oil you need to replace depending on the component you swap out. Remember to check how much oil is in the new compressor. Some come with some and others don't.

Good luck!

Thanks Kev...the new compressor didn't come with any oil actually.
