Reviving this old thread with more of the same questions.
I'm actually driving my car more than ever now ( around 1.5 hours ( combined ) round trip to an internship )

I live in Texas, and A/C is almost a necessity. My car still has the original R-12 in it and I have never used the A/C for periods of over a minute - and this is only when i'm soaking with sweat.

I have read conflicting write ups on converting R-12 to R-134. Some say it can't be done at all.

My vent still blows warm air even on cool mornings, so I'm still puzzled by this. ( with the lever on 'cool' and the A/C off )

So just to reiterate what has been said here, I can pay a shop to collect and dispose of the R-12. What is a fair cost for this ?
Also, what is a fair cost to convert to R-134 ( if that can even be done on my car )

My car is a 1993 Civic DX - pretty close to 130,000 or more miles.
