+1 Roy, 8oz is the total system capacity of oil in that car, so if all you did was change the compressor, and the dryer, you are 6oz overcharged with oil.
you will now need a flush kit in addition to the refrigerant, new dryer and oil to get this car cooling properly.
if it's not been run much, you may not have damaged the compressor with all the extra oil. STOP RUNNING IT NOW!
get a flush kit, and some dry gas to blow it all out with. CO2 is a good cheap choice, but any bottled gas will do EXCEPT OXYGEN!!! DO NOT USE COMPRESSED OXYGEN!@!!!!
get all the lines and coils blown out. you should also replace the expansion valve, but it's not critical, if you remove it and clean it well.
