R134a will not work in your old system. Different molecule size leads to leaks in the rubber seals, etc. You'll need to purge the old system completely of R12 and oil. Etc. Have it done by someone who knows what he's doing.

You can still get R12 here from reclaimed sources and Mew Old Stock canisters. Usually pretty expensive.

Wow, that is a clean undercarriage! Puts mine to shame.

My exhaust is still stock from the factory. Somewhere on this site is a source for correct resonators and muffler. I've never done anything with mine.

How did that hole get punched in your car?

I've never taken my transmission apart in those two areas so I don't know. You can look up an exploded view in the Olds Master Parts List and get GM part numbers to help in search.

Brakes? I just put new drums and shoes on the front a year ago. I expect the drums to last the the rest of the car's life. I'll probably get 30-50,000 miles on the shoes. (~80,000km)

Please take lots of pictures. I need to replace mine , too but haven't had the nerve to start, yet.

Manual says the hood has to be removed for air conditioned cars. My car doesn't have a/c. It looks like the carburetor might be in the way of the plenum but I await your report.
