I totally agree with what whitesaab says. I have had dealings with converting r12 to r134a and he is right that it doesn't cool as well with parts designed for r12. There is another issue as well, if you do decide to convert it, be absolutely sure to change out the oil. r134a and the oil used in r12 systems do not mix. They react and acid is a byproduct that will eat small holes in your system. I had this happen once where I was employed, on an overhead crane in a very hot enviroment. Had to replace all of the components in the a/c system. Also, if I remember right, you have to change the seals in the compressor when converting to 134a.
Hope this helps.
