Actually the conversions work fairly well.  I plan on leaving my Westy with R-12 because it needs all the help it can get, but cars seem to have enough reserve capacity to handle the R134.

Ouch!  The receiver-dryer runs about $35, R-12 is $20/lb on ebay, so the remaining $245 must be labor for a 1 hour job!
