1991 cherokee country AC.
hey guys, on my 93 cherokee country, i think my AC needs a recharge. when you put the AC on, it blows warm. but it takes R12. i dont want to completely overhaul my system for R134a. so, can i just put that retrofit kit on (the kit that has R134a fittings, and they screw into my compressor), and just shoot R134a into the system?

Not sure what a complete overhaul consists of but to do a thorough conversion to r134a any remaining R12 should be properly removed, the evap and cond flushed out, accumulator and orifice tube replaced, compressor removed, drained and re-installed, PAG oil added to the accumulator and compressor, vacuum pulled on the system and refrigerant added.

There are DIY-friendly R12 substitutes out there that might be a workable option if you don't want to overhaul the system. Or just fill it with R12. It's expensive...but it's still out there. (have to go to a shop to do it though)
