95 LS 3.0. The clutch failed on my old compressor. I couldn't find a reasonably priced used/good clutch, so I bit the bullet and just bought a brand new Denso compressor, drier, expansion valve, O-rings, flush and oil in a kit.

The old compressor was free to turn smoothly and the oil was clear when I poured it out to measure it. Poured a small amount through a white T-shirt to look at it,....clean and clear.

I only got about 1/2 ounce out of the old compressor, so, I added back about 3/4 ounce (to compensate for oil still in the drain pan etc).

THE DRIER HAS NO OIL COMING OUT,....NOT EVEN A SINGLE DROP,...SO, SHOULD I PUT THE NEW DRIER BACK WITHOUT ADDING OIL? OR SHOULD I ADD MAYBE 1/2 OUNCE FOR SAFETY?? IS THERE OIL TRAPPED IN THE DRIER THAT WONT COME OUT NO MATTER WHAT?

TRYING TO GET THIS DONE THIS MORNING AS A BIG STORM IS COMING THIS WAY AND THE TRUCK IS OUTSIDE.

CAN ANYONE ADVISE?
