That system holds 490g with a tolerance of +- 30g or 17.3 oz with a 1 oz tolerance.
If you use a machine, it will collect any oil and measure it for you. If not, then it depends on the method used. The oil is suspended in the refrigerant so the faster it is removed the more oil you lose. As a preparatory step you can run the engine at about 1000rpm for 5-6 minutes with the AC running, that will help distribute the oil through the system, then recover the charge as soon as possible after you shut the engine off.
If you are replacing another part and recovering the charge to get a line out of the way you will still need to pull a full vacuum on the system, simply because it was opened.
