AC help

How would I know if I just need to add the 3 oz of pag for sure? Is there a way I can check the accuumulator to see if it has oil?

Just trying to figure this all out before I put on the compressor, so I know how much and if I need to add more oil or what before closing the system up

You'd have to dump the oil out of the accumulator by removing it and turning it over. Even when a vacuum is applied, the oil wont come out. If all you took off was the compressor and condenser, youd be safe adding just the 3 oz. May double check me on that but I'm pretty sure.
