Tech in shop is looking to service the drier by replacing the desiccant and filter before recharging the system with r12.
Are there any videos on how to change out the desiccant pack and screen?
What is the R12 capacity for a stock system?

The car listed above is a Cutlass 442/S. Reman Delco compressor, system.

The desiccant pack is in the accumulator/receiver drier. here is a video to show how to charge the system. As for the amount of Freon it should say on the evaporator housing I would think about 2.5 to 2.8 pounds.
