Re: a/c
You can complete a R134a conversion on the old R12 system. Although it doesn't work as good as the old R12 it will still perform well. The conversion is pretty simple, require some oil in the line for the compressor, but nothing else really special. The 134a is way cheaper. Its a fairly popular thing that most AC repair type people should be able to handle easily.
I am in the process of doing the same thing and was going to go 134, but then my neighbor was moving and came up to me with a cylinder and said it was R12 that he didn't want any more, had all new cars now. So I basically got about 12 lbs of R12 for nothing. woohoo for me. Good luck your project
