I recommend you do, with your AC, like you do when the cats get clogged up:
Remove the part for increased performance/
I yanked the A/C and installed an A/C delete pulley in '05 on my vert.
Never been happier.
Of course my thinking was 'its a vert, if Im driving it the top should be down at which point AC is useless'.

I've seen the delete pulleys, look like something I can fab in the metalshop, too.
It's just that, dammit, that's all you SEE is old cars with dead (or missing) A/C.

Rocket.... you're only going to lose 15% of your cooling capacity by using 134 over R12. I found on my Grand Nat a couple years ago, I lost 4* at the vents when I converted to R134.... but that's your choice. Just remember..it's better to be cool 
with the windows up in July than to be cool
sitting in 90* rush hour traffic (with the windows down)! Good Luck!

I couldn't find the shaft seal on the site you listed only this stuff turned up on a search: http://www.ackits.com/merchant.mvc?
Was only talking about disassembling the 6mm allen compressor case bolts with impact tools - nothing more.

Rocket.... the key to optimum performance using R134 is to change the orifice tube and the drier when you change the compressor. I always pull a good -28 to -30 vacumn and let it sit to make sure it holds. While it's true R134 isn't as efficient as R12, I dont buy into the fact that a 134 system won't cool efficiently..... I cant recall which compressor your running, i have to guess a R4 because their 5x more prone to failure..... but if your running a Nippen-Denso, you should be able to get your system back to cooling without breaking the bank. I'm in the process of making an AC video for youtube....I'll post it on here....
