I've got an 83 GL that still cools well with the original R12. I bought it new and never added any refrigerant. I converted my 83 DL to 134a myself but it does require a vacuum pump. It cools well. The R12, if there is some left in your system, should have some value (over $50/pound). Perhaps the shop that does your conversion will knock some off the price if they can keep the R12. I'd spend my money to convert to 134a before buying and adding more R12. 134a sells for around $10/pound. Test your sons AC by putting a thermometer in the discharge vent; needs to blow 60 deg. F. or cooler after running a few minutes. jp
