h134a systems are JUST FINE. Talk to Arizona people -- they take A/C 
very seriously.

My 75 Gremlin had a stock under dash setup, a Sanden compressor, stock? 
condenser, and 134a, and ran cold as ice.

I went all VintageAir in the Rambler wagon. No regrets there! 134a. Cold!

Here's one for you -- flare fittings suck! The old stuff is all or 
mostly flare. Hard to find too. Cheapskate factory used small hoses 
(lower performance). Hotrod stuff is a bolt-up. I left the hoses extra 
long so I coudl take the under dash unit off and sit it on the seat, and 
the compressor off to one side. Factor couldn't afford to do stuff like 
that.

If (when!) I do it a 3rd time? Hot rod route!

Yeah. though there;s a "mini" under dash unit that looks period. Couple 
hundred $.

Don't forget to remove the knockout at the top of the hump so you can 
let the water drain outside!
