Scott,

You should add the oil to the compressor and drier before closing off the 
system for vacuum.  The vacuum pump should not suck out the oil.  I 
converted mine to R-34 so I am not sure what oil you should use for R-12. 
Normally it is recommended to replace the expanision valve, but after 
removing a couple and replacing them the old ones looked like new.  It is 
not easy to get to the one on the Bricklin so I would risk it and try it 
without replacing it.
