I wouldn't think that the AC systems varied in capacity based on engine size...
FWIW, my 81 F150 with a 302/C6, 2WD and factory AC has a sticker stating that it will hold 3lbs 12oz of R12. Not sure how much R134a it will need though.

Understood. Also if the system is dry pull a vacuum on it for at least 30 minutes and the first thing in should be a can of oil charge. I assume you know how the freon got out and have repaired the leaks. new orifice tube etc..
