Hey guys,
It's been 4 years since I recharged the AC system, and I figured I would share with everyone what I use. It's called ES-12a - an "environmentally safe" refrigerant. It works with either R12 or R134A systems, so no need to worry which system you have or doing any conversions. The website has this disclaimer in red letters as well to keep people's "nerves off edge" as to whether this refrigerant is really safe for both systems.
It's available here at this page: http://www.autorefrigerants.com/co00033.htm
Picture of my cans that just came in today:

Just find "Es-12a" on the page. I ordered 3 cans plus shipping for $31.00. Took 8 days (weekend included) to get here. Used it last time, loved it. Had air coming out of the center cooling vents down to 42 degrees Farenheit at once point. Going to use it again! I believe it takes 3 cans if your system is TOTALLY empty - I would assume mine will need 1 can to 2 cans absolutely tops.
Anyhoo, just figured I'd share! Don't know if this classifies as a "resource", so I'll put it in the General section for now!
