normally you buy one bottle at Auto Zone for a "clean fill" and it can be added into the suction side of the pump, or pour into the pump before connecting the hoses.

There should be a sticker in front of the radiator with the specs on it. I did my 95 4.0 last year. It took 7 oz of oil and 1 lb 14oz of freon. You need to put the oil into the compressor and the dryer bottle. I think you have to put it in the compressor before you install it because I think it fills from the bottom. Needless to say, you need the correct tools (evacuator, hi/low pressure guagues and lines) to do this.
