I will certainly concur with that. My '82 300D had great a/c with R-12. And I lived in some hot and humid places, including Corpus Christi, TX. It doesn't get much worse that that. Then I converted to R-134a. It would not cool adequately above about 85 degrees F. (I did the conversion because I bought into the story that R-12 was going to be unavailable.)
