Recharging 2001 F-150 lightning

Just want a confirmation:

I've vaccuumed the system and she's all empty. I need to add 33oz of 134a and 9oz of oil, correct? (specs in the tech manual).

Just confirming that you don't consider the various parts "holding onto" oil.

Thanks for the info,
Coldie

Just refrigerant, don't add any oil. Most of the oil stays in the accumulator and evaporator, and if you do find out you need oil, it's always easier to add a little more oil than to take out too much.
