You will need to fix the compressor seal, then remove the R-134 fittings if possible. Next you will need to flush multiple times in both directions (to ensure complete removal of PAG or ester), dry thoroughly, and put in the correct amount of mineral oil before charging the system. You should replace all o-rings too while you have it apart. The last step before buttoning it up is to replace the receiver/dryer. Converting back to R12 is a big job, but it can be done and will definitely cool much better. I hope to do my converted 380SE sometime this year.
