AC repair question

I had my car’s AC diagnosed and found out that I need to have some components replaced. I am going to replace the compressor, condenser and the accumulator. I have been searching the net and asking several questions, but I can’t seem to get the right answer. Please help, my question is how much refrigerant oil goes in my system and where.

Thank you for the information. I wanted to know what the break down is if any on putting refrigerant oil in my system. How much in the compressor? How much in the condenser and how much in the accumlator?
