Did you keep the old style compressor? What about the condenser?

Kept everything. all original: compressor, condensor, dryer, evaporator, etc.

Not to say I've read where this won't work, but I spoke to a couple people that had done it (those that replied to previous posts were theorizing, as best I could tell) but when I was at wal-Mart I ran into a guy who does this for a living. The only thing he recommended was take the cover off the expansion valve, and screw in an alan adjustment 2 full turns, because R134a runs higher pressure than R12.

I could not find the valve, or If its what I think it is, would have required removing the evaporator unit under dash, which I chose not to do.
