either buy the $900 kit or replace comp. with a sanden, reciever-drier, condensor, evaporater, hoses, & change the POA to an OT. when it comes down to it the Vintage Air setup is a much better way to go. your old A6 comp. is not good for r134a. the pistons & seals will not last long at all. for refrence sake r134a & r12 mix to create an acid which destroy any metal parts. also in order to do ac work you need to be certified or pay like a $30k fine from the EPA. I would stay away from buying ANY refridgerant in anything less than a 30# can. there is way too many blends out there which harm the system. it is kind of like getting a prostitute from down town. without extensive testing it is hard to tell what it-she is carrying.
just my .02
