there is an easier way. rather than short the compressor, look at the two caps on the compressor, remove one, if it has a pin in the middle (like your air valve on tires) then you are R-12. If no pin you are R-134. If pin, press the pin like you would to let air out of tire - JUST BRIEFLY - if you get a gas escaping then you have at least some charge. if nothing comes out, press again and longer... if still nothing you are empty. several writeups about converting to R-134. Most say to 1) fix the leak 2) replace receiver/dryer with a NEW one, 3) evacuate and refill.
