Narrative:
During a climb through 8;500 ft MSL for 10;000 ft; PNF noticed the right engine low oil pressure (red) annunciator and called to attention of PF. PF then noticed the engine manual mode white annunciator and the oil pressure gauge at zero for the right engine. Within a few seconds both pilots noticed smoke in the cockpit; both visually and through smell. PNF declared an emergency. PF pulled right power lever to idle and both pilots put on oxygen masks. PNF began working the checklist and advised PF to shutdown the right engine; which was accomplished. PF followed radar vectors for an ILS. PF continued with the smoke evacuation checklist and depressurized the cabin which evacuated the smoke. At this time; both pilots removed oxygen masks. A normal; though single engine; approach and landing were flown. After landing the airplane was taxied to the FBO as there were no indications of fire. Shutdown was normal. There was some confusion by the PF in getting the oxygen mask on and establishing communication with the PNF and approach control. Otherwise; the entire situation was straight-forward with no apparent departures from procedures or regulations.
