Per the Saab repair shop I used last, an R12 system can be converted to R134 by evacuating the system, changing the dryer (precautionary) and recharging with R134. This assumes that the systems was in good shape. He quoted 3 hours of labor, the dryer and the freon. Unfortunately my compressor froze up yesterday before I had the chance to change over, so now it'll cost twice as much!!
