I think that we see eye to eye on everything but the oil. As most conversion kits come with oil, people who use the kit should be fairly safe.
I'm not trying to throw money at a problem, I got my 609 certification 12 years ago because someone tried charge me $400 to charge an R12 system which i wasn't having
Since then, prices have plummeted and you can now get a can for $20 because demand no longer exists. Many of the cars that needed it have either been converted or scrapped.
From my perspective, if you still have an R12 system that is just a little low on Freon, the cheapest thing to do is to drop a can of R12 in and go. $20 dollars for a can, no vac, no oil change, no new fittings or o-rings etc.
Now if it's a system that hasn't worked in 30 years..... you're probably going to replace every piece of rubber on the system, if not everything else.
In any case, I suspect that the OP has some direction as far as converting his a/c so i'll bow out of this conversion.
With best regards
