If your car is 1993 or newer, you will need to use the correct PAG oil. PAG oil, like other oils, comes in different weights. I don't remember exactly what the correct weight is, but I remember that I could not tell from the label under the hood. You could try calling the dealer to see what they use for refrigerant oil on your model year car.
If the condensor is off, you will need to change the receiver/drier, flush and vacuum the system. Definately don't skip flushing since the winter road crap will have entered the ac system.
The other thing is getting the hose connections off the condensor can be very difficult since the aluminum hose ends meld to the metal threads on the condensor fittings. If you have the Seiko compressor, replacement hoses are not expensive since both condensor hoses are short. If you have the Sanden compressor, the top hose is part of a 2 hose manifold set that is expensive. So, for the Sanden compressor, I would be extra gentle trying to remove that top hose from the condensor.
