Another AC coolant conversion thread..

Okay so the compressor in my suburban blew last year. I bought a new one never used and will be installing it this next week. As for the coolant it is an r12 system(duh) and I plan to convert it to 134a just because I don't really want to try and find r12 for a cheap price. I just want cold air before I head to Florida. As for the conversion I know I need to buy a new accumulator/dryer and that's no biggie. As for the Everything else I found a conversion kit at the Walmart I work at, any one use it or one like it before? We also sell the coolant + oil is that the right oil I need? What about coolant after that should I buy the high mileage or just regular 134a? How much coolant will I need for an 85 burb with rear AC?

Anything else I need to buy? I do plan on having a local shop vaccine out the coolant properly.

Thanks for yalls help.
