With old compressor off pour out oil if lees than 2oz. add 4oz to new compressor. Accumulator 2oz. oil. System oil is 8 oz. there will be oil left in Evap., condensor and lines. Recommend orfice tube especialy if old compressor shelled. Oil all O rings and threaded connections. Button up put on Vacuum pump for at least 2 hrs a little longer vwould not hurt.
Close gagues shut off pump let set 2 hrs. if no loss of vac then charge. 2lbs of 134A
