A/C compressor Q re: conversion to 134 700 1987

My A/C compressor seized and I thought it would be a good time to
do the conversion to 134. I bought the conversion kit from groton,
and I went to the junk yard and pulled a nice looking seltec
compressor from a newer model 240.

I thought that I could empty the R12 oil from the compressor by
pouring it out, (some came out through the suction & discharge
ports and some through a port in the back) when I tried to add the
new oil from the kit, I could barely get 1/3 of it in.

It says on the Seltec compressor that it takes 200cc oil?
How can I make sure I get all the old oil out so that I can fill
the right amount of the new 134 oil?

The Seltec compressor is not yet installed in the car...
I am trying to do this without having to take it in to a shop...

appreciate any help/advice
Thanks,
JJ
