You'd at least want to change the receiver/drier (about $60).  If you
don't, you'll be mixing incompatible oils and that wouldn't be a good
thing.  Of course cleaner was run through the system and it was properly
evacuated.  The compressor was completely removed so that all the "old"
oil could be drained from it.

The receiver/drier and the O-Rings is all I changed when I converted
from R-12 to R-134.  It has gone through 2 summers and 2 winters since
and still has its charge and cools reasonably well.
