Oil
thru 89 5.7 oz
90-91 10.0
This is TOTAL CAPACITY Dont add this much unless you have flushed system and have a new compressor. For a drier replacement about 2 ounces is fine.

Refrigerent
thru 89 45 oz
90-91 38 oz
I've said in previous but once again.
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT to evacuate the system before adding new refrigerant. This entails hooking a vacumn pump to the system and drawing a vacumn for at least 10 minutes, preferably for 6 hours to draw all the moisture out. If you open the system for any reason, ADD A NEW DRIER (about 40.00) this is the filter for the system and any conversions should include one.
LEGAL DISCLAIMER: I am not a mechanic I only play one in my drive because I am too thrifty (CHEAP) to pay someone else to work on my car. Good luck post or email me if any questions
