Many times most of the A/C system's refrigerant oil remains in the condenser, evaporator and accumulator. I would often look/see what remained in the removed compressor and add the same amount and that isn't much. The whole system only holds about five ounces and you don't add that amount unless you replace the entire system and lost five ounces.

I am pleased to see my info has helped you. And remember that the most important part of any A/C job is to evacuate (vacuum pump) the entire system to remove all air and moisture. The system is then entirely empty of refrigerant 134a, and then add about two 14 ounce cans 134a to bring the system operating pressures up to spec. And most of the lubricating oil will remain in the system.
