My compressor just died on the way home in my 1987 760 Turbo.

I've been reading the FAQ, and it doesn't really say much about an entire compressor replacement--mainly it's R12 to R134a conversions.

FCP Groton has two different compressors, one for R12 and one for R134. Does it matter which I buy if I want R134? (That may seem like a stupid question, but if you can convert them...)

Are there any other compressors you guys would recommend (preferably something I can get for cheaper than the $265+shipping)? I've a friend at Autozone who can get me a discount on the compressor they sell there--it'll be about $200 after he helps me out.

Should I buy the R12->R134 kit as well as the compressor, since it comes with the new condenser, etc?

Thanks very much for any and all tips. Summer is upon us in Atlanta! A/C is important! :)
