Good luck with your a/c and keep the R12 too.
Knowing what I know now I would have never switched over to R134 when my car was restored 20 years ago. It blows very cool bit not freezing like R12 cars do as others have said on this post. Many a veteran ac tech have told me R12 was a far superior refrigerant and they were correct.
Unfortunately I listened to all the hype that R12 was going to be very difficult to find and very $$. It isn't cheap but I find the prices have come down since then. There is also still plenty out there for sale and been accumulating it when I can find it for a good price which is still possible.
One day its going to get changed back over and when the day comes for the Bonneville to get restored that will remain an R12 system.
