Default How much tranny fluid?

I just bought a used DR. Evil 4l60e. I have just installed it. While there was some fluid in it, I don't know how much (it had royal purple in it). I emptied my torque converter of as much non royal purple as I could. I then added some royal purple to it before installing.

I would guess there was only as much as what didnt leak out during the removal process. Any helpful guess as to how much I will need to put in???
