Justin - My advice is to start clean rather than pollute your system further.
Just revived my 88 SPG AC, and for what it is worth: Take your system apart, and remove old oil using paint thinner (mineral spirits) and lots of compressed air especially in the condensor and evaporator. A clean system will dramatically increase the efficiency of what ever you do next, and it will cost you nearly nada. If you can get the lines off the condensor cleanly and reuse, then just spend a few $$ for O rings, new expansion valve, and receiver/drier, put it back together, and get some serious vacuum on it to test integrity. If that's OK, you are $50 away from cool air, using R134 (with oil), or a hydrocarbon R-e12 substitute like R-12a (with oil).
