How much oil needs to be put in a R134 a/c system with ALL new parts? 200 1985

Hello fellow Brickers.

I installed a completely new R134 a/c system but I am unsure about how much refrigerant oil to add.

I have a new compressor, condenser, evaporator, expansion valve, receiver drier and all new hoses.
I have not installed the hoses yet. All of the components still have thier caps installed.
The compressor does not have a label indicating that it has oil already but I would think that it would have the oil in it.(?)

I hope it won't be necessary to remove it and drain it to see how much.

My questions are these:
1) How much oil should I add?
2) Where should I add the oil?
3) Do I pour the oil in somewhere or wait until I am adding the refrigerant and just add it into the suction side through the gauges?

Thanks for any advice.
