You should never ASSUME anything when it comes to refrigerant conversion.
Federal law requires the correct fittings and a conversion label, but if 50% of the cars that have been converted to 134 have these I would be surprised. I have seen all levels of conversion ranging from, just putting 134 in a system with a suicide hose through the existing fittings, to complete system rebuild with flushing, r/d, big condensor, evacuation, fittings et al.
As mentioned in this thread, the ONLY way to know is with a refrigerant identifier.
Good luck,
