Re: Are you converting?

Your car is a '91, so you must have (originally, at least) an R12 refrigerant system. If you are replacing the compressor, you would be crazy not to convert to R134. You already have to do most of the work for conversion by pulling the system down. Are you replacing the dryer, too? I seem to remember a posting advising this for conversions. What was the price they quoted you for a rebuilt compressor?
Don't let anyone BS you that a converted R134 system is not as cold as an R12 system! If you are servicing the AC system, an R134 system is going to be better maintained, so its performance over its lifetime will exceed an R12 system by a long shot.
