Air condition? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have bought a 1978 Chevrolet pickup with 78,000 orgional miles on it. The air condition belt is off the compressor and don't know if it works.I asked the person about it and he said that the truck was like that when he bought it 3 years ago. He said that he only drove it in the winter time to the hunting club and did not need the air.
My question is: If I need to change the compressor,(R12) freon can I use the new gas called Freeze 12, or will It be easier to change to the new freon called R134a.
I have been told that the new change over kits do not work well.
