R134a wasn't placed in a 'stock' 1970 system...it used R12 freon. The stock system takes 3 lb. 4 oz. of R-12 and 11 oz. of 525 viscosity lubricating oil. I have no idea how much R134a should be used; nor do I know that it will work properly without changing some of the components.

My '77 shows 3.00 lbs. on compressor sticker. Do not know if your car would be exactly the same. It is easy to overcharge a system but 2.4 lbs. is not that far off. mds...
