How can I find out how much PAG oil to put in new compressor and where is the orifice tube located.
 






Welcome! Did you find the info you need? Still need it? Sorry, been away.
FOMOCO Service Manual:
Adding Refrigerant Oil After A/C Compressor Replacement

Service A/C compressors shipped without clutch and pulley


Rotate the old A/C compressor shaft 6 to 8 revolutions while collecting oil in a clean measuring device.
If the amount of oil drained from the old A/C compressor is between 85-142 ml (3-5 oz), pour the same amount plus 30 ml (1 oz) of clean PAG Refrigerant Compressor Oil (R-134a Systems) (YN-12-D) WSH M1C231-B or equivalent into the new A/C compressor.
If the amount of oil that was removed from the old A/C compressor is greater than 142 ml (5 oz), pour the same amount drained of clean PAG Refrigerant Compressor Oil (R-134a Systems) or equivalent into the new A/C compressor.
If the amount of oil that was removed from the old A/C compressor is less than 85 ml (3 oz), pour 85 ml (3 oz) of clean A/C Refrigerant Compressor Oil (R-134a Systems) or equivalent into the new A/C compressor.

The orifice is in the line from the condenser to the evaporator.
