A/C refrig. capacity? R134a vs R12..

The Bentley's manuals all state 2.2lbs capacity for R12. I finally took my other 1985 to an unnamed discount repair place. They charged me for 3lbs of R134a. Will 2.2bls of R12 translate into more R134a?
We talked about how the compressor had the newer R134a fitttings, but yet everything else looked as vintage as the rest of the car. I.e. the hoses and the receiver/drier were not updated when the PO put R134a in the system last. The car did not leak and they got 50F at the center vent, I do not have my MAX a/c circuit working, only 1-2-3 on the fan selector.
Is it worth the $18 bucks to go back and try to squeeze the shop. "Hey, why does my factory service manual state only 2.2lbs is needed to fill my car?"
We can all assume that this will not happen again.
