Re: A/C Compressor - Please help diagnose (lots of details for experts)

I know the original system used R12. Now the question: did any of the accompanying paperwork mention which type of refrigerant to use? I know you said you bought an NOS compressor, which logic says should use R12. But, do the aftermarket/reman compressors, even OEM types, require R12, R134a or Freeze-12? I haven't done any research, just wondered.
