How much R134a did you remove ?

What is the maximum allowed by the compressor manufacturer?

I assume you are doing this as some sort of experiment?

The best option would be to braze in a service port on the HP/liquid line and measure the sub cooling.

Coming to think of it, a sight glass on the liquid line would do the job.
