This. My car runs 134a and still has the stock fittings. I HATE the conversion fittings, so I left it with the R12 fittings. If I ever sell the car (unlikely) I'll put conversion fittings on it.

Check the radiator bracket to see if there's a sticker somewhere saying it was converted. If a shop did it, there should be a sticker saying what kind of gas they put in it.
