I'll make it simple. You live in Stockton. If you want to stay cool in summer, DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES CONVERT TO R-134A. There, is that clear enough for you? Please don't cite the "high cost" of R-12, you can buy it all day long for $20/can (or pound) if you check around eBay and the internet. Doing a proper 134a conversion is VERY hard and nobody ever does it right, when you're done it's much less efficient and almost useless over 100F ambient temps (you DID say Stockton, right?), and finally it's even more difficult to convert back after you pollute your system with that evil, horrible PAG oil.
Use the "search" feature, you'll find more than you ever wanted to know. BTW, in your climate, the only alternative refrigerant I'd consider is R-406b. Almost everything else (besides R-12) will have performance issues above 100F, with one or two exceptions. And no, Duracool won't work either in that kind of heat, no matter what that "redfox" bozo says.
