Help - how much AC Oil to add ?

I’m replacing AC Compressor, Receiver/Drier, Expansion Valve, and Condenser on our 1999 SE 2.3lpt. Systems has leaked down to nearly no pressure. The only major piece remaining in place will be the evaporator. I’ve read through my WIS docs and the calculations for oil to add back for each piece replaced – but the algebra applied would total more oil than the system max.
I’m looking for an informed opinion on whether to leave ALL of the 145mL of oil in the new compressor (I will drain all, measure, and refill). I assume that some oil will remain in the evaporator, but not necessarily all of the 30 mL that WIS says to add back when the evaporator is replaced. I'm considering estimating 15mL for the evaporator and adding only 130. Anyone done this? I’d appreciate feedback/opinions.
Thanks,

. . . yes, it's Apr 21 and 2 of our 3 vehicles still have snows on ;-)
