when you shut down the motor, the compressor "passes" the 200ish pressure to the low side, to equalize the pressure. totally normal.
switching back to R12 requires flushing all the 134 oil out of the lines, replaceing the TXV and the reciever as well as the compressor. 12 doesn't like the ester oil that 134 conversions use.
