I did this to my 86 900S. I replaced the compressor because it was bad anyway, and replaced the filter/dryer because I was told I needed to. I also replaced the seals/o-rings at each line connection. In hindsight, I'm not sure this was necessary, and I had to replace one hose because the fitting at the end broke when I was trying to undo it. Anyway, once everything was replaced, I put in the specified amount of Ester oil, and had the system evacuated by a local shop for $10. Then I added 2 cans of R134. It worked fine for 2 years, but now the 134 leaks out over the winter. I'm just now figuring out how to address this problem.
