Grab the service manual for your truck from here. That info will be in there.

If you've flushed those two components well, there shouldn't be anything left in them, so the replacement figures should be adequate. In my experience with A/C systems, slightly more oil in the overall system shouldn't cause an issue..

Replace the drier too, Drier and compressor is where most of your system oil retains.
