 How much was your conversion?

If you can do he work yourself and do it "right" you are looking at under $100 including the R134a. You can do it "cheap" for under $30. Doing it "right" means replacing: service fittings, dryer, all o-rings/seals, and the expansion valve (or oriface tube if so equiped). Then flush everything (have to remove the compressor to flush it). Now evacuate for a minimum of 2 hours and make sure it will hold a vacuum, now refill with ESTER oil and fresh R134a (ester is R12 & 134a compatible and it is a good conditioner of seals and o-rings) and finally adjust the AC temp sensor to whatever temp you like...
