CONVERTING FROM R12 TO R134A
It is a good idea to convert to R134a as the R12 refrigerant is no longer available.
Many people use a simple conversion kit instead of doing the whole job. The conversion kits have many pro's and con's. The con's do out way the pro's due to failure problems. Definitely change the drier when doing the changes. Also change all the seals to R134a compatible seals and the service port adaptors. Be sure to replace the label notifying that the system is now R134a.
