If nothing else I'd convert it long enough to locate the leak, add BG "fridgiquiet" with dye. Once you nail the leak, decision time. R134 works OK but not great in the older 124 and 201 cars. The 201 never had 134 so there are limited options to enhance performance. About the only thing you can do is install a 134 expansion valve and set the fans for "always on" low speed. Make sure your fan clutch is good and tight and run the latest version of the compressor that will fit on the car, I know there are a few different clutch pulley sizes as well that will turn the compressor faster for better cooling performance with 134. (I just did a replacement on a 89 201 car, the replacement was 1/2 shorter than the orignial, cooled much better and the pressures were better)
