you need a compressor that's good< i don't know what style restriction device they have either thermal expansion valve (TXV)or orifice tube most likely orifice tube you will need a new one of those, they are a cheep item and need replacement, a condenser an evaporator, the hoses, and depending if it has an orifice tube you will need a new accumulator, because once they are used and opened to atmosphere, they are no good as well, if it has a (TXV) you will have a receiver dryer because they go bad as well, and of course the refrigerant you will need to use R12 manifold gauge set to put the R134a refrigerant in because R12 is hella expensive.

any questions let me know
