One other point.  Blends can't be recycled and can't be legally vented into
the atmosphere.  So when the percentages go "off" that leaves you in a bind.
I converted my LM convert to 134a and have been happy with it.  I kept the
original compressor, but if I had it to do again would probably go with a
Sanden.  I replaced the accumulator and o-rings, but left the hoses alone.
As an EPA 608 Universal Certified individual I can tell you that they can't 
be legally vented 
into the atmosphere....

However, If it happens to be done by an uncertified individual there is 
really no penalty. They
are not certified nor trained in how to properly handle refrigerants

You don't wnat ot know what the penalty is if I were to be caught venting it 
or ANY 
refrigerant.

It's not pretty
