R12 and R134 use different fittings. I would recommend you have someone more familiar with AC do the work for you. R12, the old stuff, can be had just fine, but be prepared to pay.

Twitch, a clean condensor is a better cooling condensor, for sure. I'm going to take a good look at mine. Most of those mag wheel cleaners are fairly mild, but effective.
