today, i went to a body shop to get my ac re-filled (freon) and the mechanic told me that it's illegal to put freon in my 92 honda civic cx because the a/c unit is an older model and it pollutes the air. he said i would need to upgrade or retrofit to a newer model.. 134a. i guess i have the r12. any input?

But you can't mix the two refrigerants. If your system isn't leaking, no reason for a "retrofit".. Go to another shop or try and find some cans of freon yourself.
