AC conversion ? for MrWinkey

(Or anyone who can answer) Some time back I posted regarding R-12 to
R134A conversion. Surely someone can help with a few simple questions. For one, I intend to drain the entire system and refill with the appropriate kit-included charge oil. My question is, how much oil will I need? The car is an 82, so is there a specific quantity I'll need? Also, without guages to measure, is there a common sense determination for how much R-134A I need? I understand the bubble window test, but is that all I need to pay attention to? Perhaps the conversion kit I'm considering purchasing has a DIY Q and A section inside, but if anyone can address some of these issues, I'd appreciate it kindly. Both the oil charge and R-134A cans in the kit are 12oz, if that helps any. I can buy additional oil and R134A cans seperately if needed.
Part of the reason for draining and flushing the system is because I'm
replacing the two main hoses going to and from the compressor. When I bought the car, both hoses at the compressor end had been cut and reattached to their respective pipes using high pressure hose clamps. I know at least one of those hoses leak. The pressure side specifically.
Thank you in advance.
