- Start the car
- While it is idling, turn on the blower inside to position '1' and feel the air temp
- Go under the hood and jumper the A/C clutch wire for 10 seconds. Don't do it any longer than this
- Disconnect the jumper, then quickly jump into the car and feel the air temp
If it is cold, then your freon level is fine and you need to track down the electrical problem.

Technically, there is no difference whether you are using R12 or R134A. All you need is the correct gauge manifold and the right freon. Charging is no different. With R12 you just have more $$$ to lose when you have a leak.
