The oil settles to the lowest part of the system usually. A lot of it resides in the accumulator, and a lot in the condenser and compressor.

I would still add a little bit of oil when you put it together anyway. The evaporator holds little oil because it is usually still sucking liquid through it. It stays pretty "dry" in relation to the condenser or the compressor. Just add a little bit unless you suspect that a significant portion of the a/c oil charge has been depleted through seal leakage or other means.

Add the oil that is specified for the system.
