A/C compressor replacement/upgrade

This past summer, while trying to replace the belts, I found that there had been a repair at a seam on the original A/C compressor on my 77. How did I find said repair? I could hear the refrigerant leaking out and when I pinpointed it, I realized that part of the seam didnt match the rest of it. My question is, would one of the newer radial compressors work better and if so, what kind of an issue would it be for replacement? The system also had the old R-12 in it and Im thinking of going ahead and swapping over to 134.
Its to bad, it worked pretty well for not having been used in 5 years.
