Had my mechanic suck out all remaining R-12 (3 oz, he said) and today replaced as many seals as I could (the ones on the back of the compressor are VERY non-standard) and added Freeze-12 and oil. Odd thing - normal charge is supposedly 2-2.25 lbs for our cars; I put in only 26 oz +/- of Freeze-12 and got 35 psi with the compressor on. Freeze-12 says it takes about 10% less than normal to get the same cool, but that'd still be 29-34 oz. of refrigerant.
Anyway, it blows cold right now. We'll see if it stays... all I need it to do is last for the trip to Carlisle; anything more is a plus, really.
