Default 1997 XK8 air conditioning charge.

After a engine change I finally have everything sorted out and the car is running great. Now its time to charge the AC. THe system was open so I plan on buying a new dryer. Does anyone know the quantity and type of oil I should have in the AC system? I replaced all the ORings, other than the dryer am I missing anything? Thanks

There should be a sticker under the hood on the right side shock "tower" which gives you the refrigerant charge & oil info. Mine says 1 lb 12 oz of R134a. The oil to use is "PAG", however JTIS states that when replacing the dryer you do NOT need to add any oil.
