80-90% of the R-12's original 2.5lb capacity, which would be about 2.25lbs, or about 3 of the 12oz cans.

Thanks
If using a proper AC machine at a garage, do I still need to get them to manually add Ester oil? When they vacuum out the system, does the oil come out too?

If you're performing a new conversion, you'll need to remove the old 525 viscosity mineral oil. Total oil capacity for the Fiero is 8oz, no matter what type.
Many recovery machines are capable of flushing the old oil, but it's not as simple as just connecting the hoses to the low and high side ports.

It is not a new conersion, car is already on R134A. Just seems to have a small leak that I cannot find. so I have to re-fill it each summer
I did add ester oil when compressor and accumulator were changed a couple of years ago. Should still be in the system I would think
I have new orifice ready to go, just wondering if I should be worried about ester oil

I went through my old files, and found most of the images that got nuked when the image server went down, restored to the first post.
