Default Thirdgen lsx swap A/C refrigerant capacity?

So I finally got my ac working in my thirdgen with an LM7 swap. The ac works pretty well, but i feel it should be colder. I think it may be overcharged. I used the a/c machine at my job to vacuum, inject the oil, and charge the ac. I pumped in 2.5lbs, which is the capacity for a thirdgen. Im using a thirdgen condenser, evaporator, and accumulator, and a 4th gen compressor and hawks swap ac hoses.

Should i recharge the system with the 4th gen ac refrigerant capacity, being I'm using a 4th gen compressor? Not sure what the charge should be around using a mix of third and 4th gen parts. Any help would be great.

You'll probably get good answers in the conversions section. This here's kinda for engine related stuff and as you did do a conversion....

LS1 is 1.5lbs I believe, so you're probably overcharged.
