MGB LE Air Conditioning Issue

Several months ago I bought the wife a 1980 MGB LE (Ladies Edition). This car 
is an original beauty with 44,000 miles, hardtop, AC, and the original COCOA 
Mats, Window sticker, etc. In it's early life it was driven by a 16 year old, 
so we had to install a new clutch and do a little Tranny work but she runs 
like a dream now.

Now, I need to get the AC going before the summer weather hits. The AC has 
not worked for a number of years. Every thing is there and I believe that the 
compressor is OK. I need some advice as to the best approach.

Do I stick with the old freon?
Do I convert - is it possible, practical, sensible?
What traps do I look for?
Can any ole' auto AC repair service do the job?
Anyone know of a place in central NC that would be best for the job?

Anything that I have forgot to ask?

I do not want to do anything until I hear from the collective wisdom of this 
group.
