When I had to take the AC system apart in my '86 Mustang GT to replace the
heater
core, I converted to R134a. Two adapter fittings, new seals where the lines
connect, and a new accumulator canister (I think that's what it's called; was
told you can't clean those things out). Cost me about $300 for evacuating the
old system, installing parts and charging new. I figured it was an investment
in
the future for a car I expect to keep for a long time.
And it cools just as well as it always did.
