Greg,
My a/c guy does it regularly. You needd to have barrier hoses. These can
be made up by any good a/c shop. You need to replace your compressor or
rebuild the one you have w/the proper seals. Have your system vacuumed
and purged. Install the 134 and away you go. Just helped him do a tr7
w/GM compressor. It was a snap took us about aan hour and a half. 
        He says anyone trying to make it more complicated is just after your
money.
