Original compressor, just cleaned and drained. Man that gold Challenger looks familiar. My first Challenger was a gold 71. Thanks for the replies- I hope she is on the road in a day or so.
Here's what that challenger looked like when I bought it, original GY8 car painted red twice.340/904 8.75 When I got done with it.440/6 727 dana

The whole system might hold 11 oz. but it's dispersed throughout the system, not just in the compressor.

You need to be careful of introducing too much oil into the system at once, especially if you do not have refrigerant in the system as you could end up hydrolocking the compressor with oil and trashing it pronto. Most techs do as noted earlier, fill the compressor with some measured amount of oil, cycling the comressor to distribute it, then installing it and adding R134. You load the rest of the oil into the receiver/dryer, or later on a siphon line or as part of a cylinder of mixed oil and R134 to top off. https://www.google.com/url?sa=f&rct=...xBDEi7rvmuo3vlwIf you have not opened the system up, I'd be very concerned that you will have problems due to the contaminated receiever-dryer you surely have and older porous hoses and fittings too.
