I just retrofitted my '72. Buy a kit from Autozone (less than $50) and do it yourself. Have an AC mechanic vacuum out all the old freon. Then replace the pressure valves on the compressor, flush the old oil from the compressor, then refill with the new freon/oil mixture. The kit provides all instructions.
