What...? The number of shares just depends how much money you have; that's not something we can answer.
3% of your investment portfolio is in index funds? Or are you saying 3% of your total net worth? What is the rest invested in? That is extremely small unless you're in some special situation. 95% of my investments are index funds.
3% of portfolio. Others are mostly stocks that make up SPY anyway
Like what though? I see absolutely no reason why 97% of your portfolio is individual stocks unless you're an active trader. Wouldn't you rather just sit on index funds and let that grow for decades?
With your individual picks, unless you're confident they will outperform the market in the long run, you'll need to manage your portfolio and buy/sell when necessary.
Just because your stocks are in the S&P500, doesn't mean they'll perform just like the market (unless you hold all 500 stocks at the appropriate proportions, at which point you'd rather just buy an S&P500 index fund anyways).
Facebook is in the S&P500 and is down 35% in the last 12 months. The broad market is down 5%, for reference.

Invert it, to 97%, unless quite close to retirement
Index funds are 100% of my portfolio - about 80% US: 20% International.
Started buying when I was 18 and am 25 now and feel no need to buy an individual stock. But I would if I really believed in a specific company! I just don’t research enough
Outside of I bonds in my bond allocation, 100% of my portfolio is in index funds.
I have crypto, bonds, and cash, all other investments in my portfolio are in index funds
