I flushed the condenser and as many hoses I could get too without disconnecting the evaporator again..
The manual says add 120 milliliter to the compressor and 10 ml to the dryer which I planned on doing. The big question now is

COULD there be enough oil in the hoses to cause too much oil in the system to be ineffective!

I would appreciate some constructive contributions

I would need some answer pretty quick since I need to get my A/C going to get my wife of my back in this TN heat ...

thanks and cheer up...
FYI:

to flush or not to flush A/C ?

Answer: If the system was flushed correctly, the answer is NO......

Thank you for the new data (in bold).
You should need to replace the full oil charge.
