7 4runner, how much AC oil with condensor replacement?

AC condensor (the baby piggy-back one on the front) got holed by the hood latch mech (check yours!).

So, new AC condensor is in (comes with both the big one and the piggback one as a single unit).

R134a conversion was already done. How much AC oil should I be adding with a condensor replacement?

No oil stains at the hole, and it was at the top of one of the tubes as well - did not appear to lose any oil from this hole, just the whatever oil was in the old condensor.

Online and manuals are not helpful here...
e.g - 7oz of mineral oil for R12: http://www.techchoiceparts.com/conte...ityTable4.aspx
Assume it's 7oz of PAG, but not sure how many to add with just a condensor replacement...

Thanks!

I've found a couple sites which indicate 1oz of oil for a condensor change is usually enough. This was a for a Chevy and for a Chrysler Lebaron. At least I have a fallback.
