Default 87 Cherokee 4.0L A/C information

I'm getting ready to tackle my A/C problem (not cooling, clutch not kicking in) and looking for information links or diagrams.

I've read that I need to convert from R12 to R134, but want to make sure I don't need to replace compressor or receiver dryer (I think that is what it is called).

I have checked the relay and it is fine.

I would appreciate any help. This is my first time tackling a/c

Thanks!

You don't have to at this point, but let's see why it's not working first.

Are you gonna attempt to charge it with a 134a conversion kit?

Do you understand the service valves on the compressor and how they wotk?
