Well after 2 days of running the A/C with the conversion.  It seems to me 
just as cold as the R-12 was. Cools the car down quite nicely, and I am in 
south florida with 95 degree heat and 90 % humidity.  I did not vacuum out 
the system, I did change the dryer, which is real easy to do and cheap, only 
like $20.  If your going to do the conversion, I would change out the dryer 
at the same time I think this is what makes the difference.
