I have a 1991 Toyota Camry 4Cyl with approximately 215,000 miles. The AC has worked excellently until recently. I assume it has the original R12. What is your recommendation for salvaging the system? Do I need to do a retrofit and if so, what is the process?

Sincerely,

If your AC system still has R12a refrigerant unless you have access to a stash of the stuff, which has not been used in decades, you'll need to convert to R134a. Information on the process is as close as your favorite search engine. For example it took about 10 seconds to find this and there are quite a few more like it:
