Ken,

      I too, have seen this kit at the Auto Zone.....hmmm.... from what I read
on it the one canister was to re-condition the existing seals for use with the
r134 which provides less lubrication.  The other canister was the ester oil
for the compressor.  I have seen some good articles up in the archives about
doing this sort of conversion.  Any everything I've seen says to replace the
receiver/drier whenever the system is opened and exposed to the atmosphere.
Since the compressor should be removed to drain all the r12 compatible oil out
before replacing with ester oil, I believe replacing the drier would be in
order as well.  Not to mention, an opportunity presents itself to replace the
seals for the compressor and drier.  I am planning on performing this
conversion myself shortly.  I, too, am stuck in middle Gawja and its gettin'
dern hot!  I'll try to post my experience.
