[Shotimes] AC questions

[Zach Leahy]

Why not just use and R-12 replacement refrigerant instead of going to
all the trouble of converting to R134a?  i did this on my 93 and I
have been pleased.  The refrigerant is really no more expensive than
r134a.

I used the following, from these guys, I bought half a case and used
it in several R-12 systems.  It is claimed to work in eithe a r134 or
an r12 system if I remember correctly.

No affiliation, just a happy user.
