I would like to convert it to R134a so it will be easier to service in the long run. I think I can use the stock controls and evaporator, and change out the rest of the system under the hood - new compressor, condenser, fittings, hoses, drier, and upgrade from the POA style system to a orifice/accumulator type (whatever that is).

Learning as I go when it comes to this AC stuff, so I have a lot more research to do.
