Assuming its a York 210 (Sanden was on Calif models only that year), initial compressor oil fill was 7 ounces.   However, to do it right you should make/buy a York dipstick and follow the oil-level checking procedure in the TSM.    There is no qty spec on refrigerant for just the compressor; however the whole system takes about 2 pounds of R-12.   If something other than R-12, the amount will be different.
