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.
