Re: Air condition conversion (civickid77)
DON'T DO IT!!! YOUR A/C COMPRESSOR WILL BLOW WITHIN A YEAR! The pressure of r134a is too high for the old systems, you're just gonna **** **** up by converting. Stick with r12 and you'll be much happier in the long run. Trust me, I learned the hard way.

Re: Air condition conversion (Hybrid93Hatch)
to switch over to from r12 to the r134a all is required is the new fittings for your lines (high and low side ports). Also you need to change all the o rings in all the line connections, as the pressure is higher..... however your pump will not fail unless it was already on its way out.
the older r12 lines are diff than the r134a lines. They are not compatibale with each other so dont bother trying to install a newer pump and newer lines , keep all your old stuff.
with the exception of what the conversion kit tells you to change.
Good luck!
I learned the HARD WAY, but finally got everythign working right.

Honda started conversions around '94 - not all cars. I'm sure that by '96 everything was r134a.
