<< I went to the local Autozone here in Gawga and saw a kit for converting a
r-12
 A/C system to R-134a.  It was two canisters that hook inline when you change
 the system.  One is a R-12 oil neutalizer and the other is the oil for the
 134a.  Talking to the guy at the desk he said they were selling alot of these
 kits and that they worked well for anything from the '80s and newer.  He
 claimed that with this kit you could also keep your original dryer if it was
 still good.  What do you folks think about this?  I would really love to get
 my '91 Carats A/C charged and since anyone can buy R-134a and I could charge
 it myself, and the stuff costs 4 bucks a can, this sounds like the way to go.

Why convert to R-134a when there are now substitutes for R-12 available on the
market? You don't even have to change the oil.!
