I am not sure it's going to be a good idea to convert the old York
to R134a.  Much better to go with a more modern compressor that
is designed for R134a.

That said, I have a service manual PDF file for the current versions
of these York compressors (which are now made by CCI, and are
physically identical to the old Yorks, as far as the fittings and
dimensions go).  You can look here for info:
