installing new A/C compressor tomorrow, some clarifications needed

I got a brand new subaru a/c compressor that I'd like to install in my '92. The compressor is from a '95 so it's ready for R134a. The entire system has been converted over to R134a with new condenser, orifice/expansion valve, condenser, evaporator and a new drier.

My FSM only talks about R12 so I just wanted to make sure of some info here.

- What is the amount of R134a capacity in your shop manual? In my case, the amount of R-12 is 1.2 - 1.5 lb, shown on page 55 on 4-7.

- what is the high pressure reading (using a manifold gauge system) in the R134a system with the A/C system running? In my case, the high side pressure needs 185-213 psi, low pressure side 28 psi. This is with the Windows, open, engine at 1500-1700 rpm, blower speed on Hi, temp set at 65* F. Page 104, 4-7.

I hope my new compressor comes with oil already, but if not I need to have 2.4 fl oz of oil. Can someone confirm if this is the correct amount of oil for R134a also? This info is on page 56, 4-7.

Thanks for your help.
