I have the guages and compressor coming, and have watched a few youtube videos. My big question is how do I make sure that I have enought oil in the AC system without taking the compressor off.

There is oily residue on the skid plate at the bottom of the engine bay, so I am sure I need to add some, just dont want to over/under fill.

Anyone have good advice or approach to the problem?
You cannot, only way is to drain and flush system and then fill to spec.

Usually all hoses and tubes hold 1oz and the accumulator holds 1oz
It is advisable as mentioned to replace the accumulator when a system is opened up.
Replacing accumulator and the hose personally I would replace with 1.25oz of oil
Be sure to pump down to 500 microns to rid the system of any moisture.
