Any one know anything about A/C?

I can't believe you replaced 250 compressors because the had R134 in the 
system.There must have been some other reason.
  I am not a AC expert but my experience with daily work on recovery 
machines has not borne out your statement.
If the AC system is properly set up and charged R134 will work as good as 
R12 with the possible exception of cooling at idle.If your AC is making cold 
air it don't matter what is in the system.
my .02 worth.
