Could I or would I be able to evacuate the R12 and put R134a in the system without any problems. Now or in the future if R12 goes sky high in price.

i asked him, since i might be getting a new evaporator, what would be involved in switching to r134. he said its about 2 hours of labor plus they have to change the condenser filter or something. they have to completely flush the system with nitrogen to get out ALL of the R12 then they can put in R134 sounds like $200. plus, whatever R12 you have left in your system when you start, you can probably sell back to them, if its full, thats around $100.
he also said that R12 probably wont be available in a few years and that if it was, its going to be even more expensive.
i hope this helps.
