Retrofitting the R12 prelude to R134a - anyone???

Has anyone of you done such retrofit? What parts were replaced? Orings, hoses,... ???

How is it done generally?

The correct way to do it is to dissasemble the entire pressure system and flush it all out. Then reassemble with the correct oil and a new filter/drier. Conversions can work o.k., but they will never blow as cold as the original system. R-134a is not as good of refrigerant as R-12.
