Oh, ok, lol.

There are some good AC sites out there. But AFAIK so far, for the 79 you will need an r134 conversion kit that will give you new valves as they are different so you don't mix refrigerants. You should replace the drier tank & orifice tube as well (I get a bit lost as the 2nd gens changed over the years but I believe there is an orifice tube in that). And all the lines, evap & condenser need to be flushed to get the R12 oil out and R134 needs different oil. I'll know better next year when I do my truck.

Not sure if you are on NastyZ28.com, but there is a user there Hhott71 and he is an AC guy and has posted up the info before on this.
