The new A/C compressors from Sanden are made to be used with R-134a so this should not be a problem. I have these new for $329 with no core charge. I would also recommend replacing the dryer as it may be contaminated and is only an extra $60. Also I would replace the expansion valve, as the new ones are set up for the higer pressures of R134a and these are $30. You can give me a call and order this stuff or buy it through the webstore. However no matter where you get it, these are the items that I would recommed replacing when you replace the compressor. Thanks, Ken Wilford (Licenced A/C Tech, Certifiable Vanagon Nut, etc...)
