it makes it easier when it comes time to fill your system. R12 is a little harder to find and costs a lot more than R 134. IMO, if your fixing up your a/c set up, switch to R 134.

They do make some substitute fro T12.Just have to be careful as some of the cheap stuff did have propane benzyne etc in it.Its as pricey as R12.Basically if you can find 12 you cant buy it unless you have a cert.Its just easier to change to 134.Just replace the dryer and have a vacuum pulled along with the Orings.The new Orings are avaliable in all sizes.That and add some oil to the system.Rocky

Don't forget to change the compressor oil to 134 compatible oil. r12 oil + r134 = Booom!
