You can get the lines off any Civic 96-00 pretty cheap from a junk yard. Prolly even find a compressor for $50 that will work like new once vacuum is applied to the system to evacuate everything and then recharge the system.
Im not sure if 92-95 Civic's were R134a or not.
wow, ur stupid.
R12 AC Systems can be converted to r134a with just 2 schrader valves, and thats it!. i have done close to a 1000 of these and not 1 problem yet with switchin over to r134. U dont have to worry about seals, or anything.
Its most likely your valves are leaking, or better yet evac everything, and then mix in dye and put the old stuff back in and go from there to find ur leaks.
