When you vacuum down the system, the vacuum will pull almost all of the oil out of the lines. The "oil charge" that comes with the retrofit kit is a mixture of R-134a and the correct refrigerant oil.
There is also oil in the sump on the bottom of the compressor. You can check it with a dipstick, as is shown in the Factory Service Manual and the nifty RV-2 video on the club's website
