I haven't even considered doing this on my car. But I'd help you out.
Why do you want to convert to r134a?
I was looking over on how to do it and it seems expensive. You'll need a new reciever/dryer, r134a compressor, o-rings, high/low pressure switches, and possibly a thermal expansion valve. Supposedly you can get a conversion kit from the dealer for $250.
well mine is leaking. probably an O ring so I figured if I'm going to change all the O rings might as well do the complete swap.
the previous owner got a new dryer so I don't need that. the compressor is compatible with r134a so I'm okay there as well. I do have to remove the compressor and the PAG oil and refill it with the compatible oil.
I saw that some people were getting the conversion kit for around $100.
