Option 1: Can I just get a shop to refill with R12 and repeat every few years?

Option 2: Can I get an R134 conversion and still keep the car looking stock? Can I do this my self with the kits in local parts store.

Option 3: Can I do minimal changes to make the AC better while still looking stock?
I had my 88 Carrera converted to R134a for about $200.00

For an extra $50 or so you could add a RED DOT trinary pressure switch to add override control capability to the compressor clutch and have 3a 3rd function to control the cabin heater fan when/if the overall heat load for the condenser and engine gets to high in stop and go conditions.
