You can convert by just getting the R134a fittings and a new orifice tube ( or a variable orifice valve if in a hot climate ) vacuum it down and refill with the 134 and correct oil. Not a bad idea to replace all the orings while you're at it, make sure to coat them withj the r12 type mineral oil before installing, coating with the r134a refrigerant oils will dry them out. The factory ford ac is pretty good to begin with, they work nicely on 134. My CC is setup that way and blows nice and cold ( and I didn't even put the fancy orifice tube in it ) I'm getting low 30s out the ducts going down the road, can't ask for much more than that.
If you just have to have R12, you Can still take it to a shop that works with the stuff, or you can take the test and cet certified yourself to purchase r12 online, it doesn't cost much and the test isn't difficult ( open book, or rather open text file
I haven't checked personally, but I've been hearing that r12 is coming down and I know 134a had been steadily climbing in price( darn near double this year what it was last year I just paid $50 for a case that cost me under $30 last year)
