I want to swap my R12 compressor for an R134 one, is there a direct swap that will bolt up to the brackets? I allready had the refidgerant and oil swapped out but my weak R12 compressor isn't getting the system cold enough. Thanx

IIRC, your existing compressor will handle R134 just fine. Just vacuum out the R12, replace the dryer and fittings (I think those are the only replacements necessary) vacuum it down again and refill with R134 and appropriate oil.
