When I bought my car the A/C didn't work at all. I found the compressor clutch wasn't engaging and found out that there was a pressure switch that didn't allow the A/C to come on unless there was pressure in the system. So I went to the auto store and bought a conversion kit for around $40 that included new adapters for the valves, a special o-ring conditioning oil, the refrigerant and an adapter to hook up the cans to the valves. I basically read the directions and proceeded to begin to fill the system as it was empty. I noticed a hiss coming from the firewall area and shut off the flow. I found that a nut holding the A/C pipe to the firewall had come loose and that how the freon previously escaped. After tightening it, everything went smoothly and I had A/C again, although I hear that the R-134 is not quite as effective as R-12, but it works fine for me.
