To the op, Ultimately, you have to do what works with your wallet. At 30 years, its really only a matter of time. Everytime the system needs service, you will lose your precious r12 unless you have recovery equipment. Although its not huge money, it work out to about $75 each time. With so many other failures you will have on a car that old, its kind of reassuring that at least you will have working a/c when it actually gets hot out.

If the system is gone through, made tight and checked for leaks before charging, the chance of the need for a total recharge is not high. I would be surprised if it is a system that uses more than 3 pounds which would be about $45 worth. In today's refrigerant market, it would cost as much as $30 for an equivalent 134 recharge.
