80cc, or 2.7 fluid ounces, sounds very little for the total system capacity. Are you sure the Workshop Manual isn't referring only to the amount of oil to put into the compressor on its replacement?

It's a 2007 Suzuki sx4 with a 1600cc engine.

Yes, 80ccs is for the PAG 46. Refrigerant is 430 grams. The workshop manual says 80cc but Valeoservice and Mahle both say 60ccs. At 60ccs, filled while rotating pump (full pulley, not just clutch) it will hold only 60ccs.

You corrected "1600cc engine" to "2000cc engine," or 2.0 liters. The specification that I have for your vehicle is 21 ounces net weight (595 grams) of R-134a, and "Consult under-hood decal for the PAG-46 amount." The refrigerant spec differs quite a bit from yours, which is 15.2 ounces or 430 grams, and the oil specs—two different ones, 60cc (2 ounces) and 80cc (2.7 ounces)—you already know.
