Thanks!
This can be a tricky subject with lots of conflicting info available. Here is a "Cliff's Notes" type of guide:

http://autoacrepairs.com/134aConversion.htm

If you want to convert, I would recommend taking your car to a reputable shop that specializes in automotive AC repairs and pay them to do it. Once the conversion is done, then you can do your own maintenance and repairs from that point forward. Just bear in mind that there is a right way and a "quick and dirty" way. Make sure that the shop you are dealing with knows what they are doing. Expect your AC performance to take a hit, as R134a won't cool as well as R12.
