ok, if your a/c is clunking, AND you have not replaced the expansion valve. I'd strongly recommend purging your system, replacing the reciever, the expansion valve, and prior to installation of these parts, I'd flush all the lines. then replace and see how it looks. also, 134 is not going to remain long in old 12 rated flex lines. at a minimum, you are going to need new orings and a flush.
also, if your compressor is already knocking... you better replace it now. a perfectly good R4 compressor will fail running 134a pressures. and it's much easier to flush and change a compressor BEFORE it fails and blows chunks throughout the system!!!
