Default Air conditioner compressor swap!

Hey guys, I got a 93 corolla from my friend dirt cheap a while ago. I just called some junk yards and they have some new stuff in stock. Namely, a compressor. Now heres the question, 134 is better than 12, and 134 compressor is cheaper than the 12. 12 I'm pretty sure is what came in this car. Do you think I could put the 134 in it and then just charge it with a recharge kit like you would get from advanced auto parts and call it good? Fast responces please! I want to go get this asap! Thanks!

Yeah...converting to R134a last I checked was just taking out the R12, changing the fittings, and recharging with 134....
