How old is the car? Do you like the car? Sanden makes complete a/c kits for most vehicles. Just replace the whole system. It will be around $2000 not including labor.
It's not that hard to do.
Or, if you can find a shop that can recover the R-12(it is illegal to vent R-12 into the atmosphere. Every time you vent R-12 into the atmosphere, God kills a puppy.) and fill it with R-134a.
becareful not to accidentally release the pressure on the R-12 system as it will go into the atmosphere. There is a fitting on the low and high pressure sides of the system where you could accidentally release teh pressure. Coincidentally, they make R-134a retrofit kits that come with adapters that thread onto both of these connections, so, after you pay a shop to recover the R-12 and oils, you thread on the new connectors, and fill teh system with cans from the autoparts store.

It is very easy to accidentally vent the R-12 into the atmosphere and even if there are some incompatible oils still left in the system it will still get cold when filled with R-134a.
