Supposedly R134a shortens the life of compressors designed for R12. If you decide to go the conversion route Interdynamics (and I'm sure others have conversion kits available. Basically it involves an adapter that goes onto the low-pressure A/C port, a tap/hose/quick-connect and a can of R134a. That's it. You just put the adapter on the port, attach the quick-connect to it, and tap the can. I like the pre-mixed R134a with oil, seal conditioner, and dye. I'd also recommend getting a tap with a pressure gauge - You just connect it to the port and it shows whether the pressure is too high, too low, or in the correct range. Easy DIY job. One other thing: if the system still has any R12 left in it you should have it evacuated by a shop with the proper equipment. It's nasty stuff that should not be released into the atmosphere - part of the reason it was phased out.
