Default 94 hatch cx... am i r12 or r-134?

i've searched, and havent really found any solid fact... so could someone tell me whether my stock system is r12 or r-134? i know if its r12 i'll have to convert, get the system evacuated, etc... that my local shop will do, or if its just 134, then i have a connection.

i've got a b16a2 swap with a P7J bracket to hold my stock d series compressor. the 100 degree heat is wearing on me, so any help would be appreciated.

My 92 dx hatch was r-12.

I don't know if that helps, but thats all I know.

Look on the compressor label. It should tell you.

That's what helps skinny people stay skinny . This summer has been "brutal" in Cinicnnati (or so what people around here say...pansies). Roll with the 2-90 A/C and you'll be fine.

see heres what i have come to learn. the 2-60 A/C in my classic stang is comfortable and not really that hot when you are moving.... also designed to pull in more air into the car (vent windows, etc) b/c a/c was an option and not a very popular one at that. and the hatch doesnt have any of the above, so not all the air comes in, also, the hatch is black with black interior so its hotter and the stang is pearl white with red interior.... a bit cooler... again thanks for the help.

also... texas has the 5 fattest cities in the nation.... there is a bunch of fat, lazy people here that like their a/c. i for one have gone without any for 6 years now, but the heat in the hatch is a different story, and the reason for buying the hatch was for daily driving and not sweating my ***** off when i have to dress up and drive somewhere.

'94 would be 134a, if you had r-12 which you don't you would want to get the conversion kit, because r-12 is about $100 a can (i think 10 fl.oz.) wereas 134a is only about $20 a can, to fully recharge the specs call for 2.23 fl.oz
