...according to eht Haynes Techbook for Automotive AC, Volvo switched to r134 for '92 model year...

BUT, you can tell by checking the fittings on the back of the compressor and looking at the service port near your accumulator.

If your car was "converted" you'll prolly have r134 fittings on the back of the compressor. If original r134, the lo-side service port [near accumulator, pass. side nxt to firewall] should have an r134 tag on it, but if that's gone the shape of the port will be the clue...

R12 fittings are threaded, r134 fittings snap on [like an air compressor fitting]
and are much larger...you will be looking at the male fitting...

Get thew Haynes Auto AC Techbook...it's worth the $10... AC won;t be such a mystery to you anymore ...
