Default How much brake fluid do I need?

Getting to the end of a full brake system rebuild, and I can't find any specification for the fluid capacity of the system. How much fluid do I need to buy?

I am going with DOT5, so I guess I don't need to throw away any unused opened containers, but I'd rather not buy way more than I need.

Single piston discs at the front, drums at the back, repro M/C and booster in a '69 GTO...(all new parts from inline tube)

For a new empty system, 2 pints should be enough.
