As for oil, you have to use R-134a oil, somewhere under the hood is a "Subaru air conditioner" decal, and on there it will say how much oil to use, which you can just pour into the compressor before you close the system back up. Definitely need to evacuate the system, and you'll want to replace the receiver/dryer (You can get them from the dealer, if the parts house doesn't have them, they are not all that expensive, ~$80) and the O-Rings (You can get R-134a compatible O rings from autozone) while you have it open. I'd recommend having a shop or the dealer do the evac and recharge, as it's a lot easier with the proper equipment
If you replace the receiver dryer, pour half of the recommended oil amount into the "out" port of the receiver/dryer, and the other half into the compressor.
Also, $110 is an EXCELLENT price, my dealer charges ~$150. You'll need to replace the O-rings on any fittings that you took apart or it will leak. An assortment of A/C O-Rings runs about $4 or so at Autozone.
