Talking A couple questions please

When i install the new engine (22RE) in my 1988 4X4 single cab pickup...
Question 1) is it easier to install the engine and trans bolted together (One Piece) or engine then the trans?

I'm adding A/C to my truck that came from factory with no A/C

Question 2) I have NEW Compressor, NEW Evap, New Condenser, NEW Dryer... How much Oil should I put in compressor before I charge it? I can't find the capacity anywhere...

Question 3) Do I need to change or add any wire harness for the A/C? again my truck came from factory with no A/C...

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Cant help on the ac, but put the engine in first, then the tranny. Use a 3' extension and a swivel to get to the top 2 tranny bolts.
