The document discusses the process and requirements for retrofitting a vehicle's air conditioning system to use R-134a refrigerant instead of R-12. Key points covered include:
- A retrofit takes approximately 1 hour to complete
- R-134a is a hydrofluorocarbon with no chlorine, while R-12 is a chlorofluorocarbon
- Components that typically need to be changed include service fittings, high pressure switch, oil, desiccant, labels, hoses, evaporator, condenser
- The recommended amount of R-134a to use is approximately 80% of the original R-12 charge
