Call a mechanic or an auto a/c shop and ask. My guess, the oil should come out of the big (suction) line.

Don't forget to replace the dryer/accumulator and expansion valve, too. ;)

Pick it up off the workbench, tilt it and dump the oil out of the compressor manifold area into a clean drainpan, so you can measure the amount of oil you remove. Suggest you meaure amount of oil you get out of old accumlulator also. You should install same amount of new oil as you remove.
