I had a mechnic who could change my compressor but couldn't save the r-12. (At that time the AC worked perfectly but the bearing was about to go on the compressor).I called around. One garage wanted $95 to take out the R-12 and put it back after the repair. Another refused to work on an old saab or a car with r-12. Another wanted about $65 for the whole job but wanted the car for a full day before the swap and a full day after (he was the best choice). My favorite was the guy who wanted $35 to remove the old freon and save it plus $95 labor to put it back. In addition he wanted to sell my own freon back to me for $120. Good luck. Interview your mechanic.
Before this repair my AC didn't work and I took it to the dealer. He replaced the expansion valve and didn't add freon. It worked great until the compressor problem and still works great. My indie advised against switching to R134 saying it never seems to work well.
