There are only a few that need to be done. Often the retro-fit ones simply screw onto the R12 ones. They are different sizes so you should be able to work through it.

you have to remove the old schrader valves (valve stems ).one is standard size like in a tire.the other is larger and requires a different tool to remove.they're available on amazon or ebay.
