Default Pro6Ten in a 74 trans Am issues

Replacing my old non working A6 compressor with a Pro6Ten on my 1974 TA. Ran into some issues. Service manual instructs to drain the (old) compressor oil, subtract recovered oil from 11 oz and reassemble with the new compressor by adding the difference into the new compressor.

I could only get an ounce of oil out of the old compressor (see photo), and it looked very dry. So the dilemma: following the service manual I would add 6 oz of oil. I'm not confident the other 5 ounces are in the system. So how much to add?

Another issue: The Pro6Ten literature indicates it comes with 6.72 oz of oil in the new compressor. When drained, only 3 ounces came out! Spinning the pulley didn't help. Has anyone else experienced this issue with the Pro6Ten?
