I know this: No! It is not compatible. I had to learn AC systems through "trial and error" (argh!), reading manuals and talking to AC technicians. Later Hondas run R-134a, not sure what year they changed. Compatablity includes, type of oil, the hoses, seals etc. To fix: I had to purchase gauges (manifold set) and the vacuum pump; cheap tool place had them. The connector fittings are different, I bought a "late model" adapter kit.
Let me relate a story: One year the AC in my 95 LX was blowing warm air. While talking to my buddy (salesperson-parts store) he said try this Arctic Freeze, a synthetic (there are others) with seal conditioner. We went out to my car, he pops on the can, started the engine (AC on full bore) and opens the can. I said: "wait, don't you have to evacuate the system?" He said: let's try it. After a couple minutes, cold air. This was a fluke!!! You really need to pull vacuum, especially if the system has been apart or you had a leak.
My experience with Broncos: I have seen systems ruined by trying to mix R-12 and 134a. If the system is funky, you need to put in a new accumulator/dryer. There is something called "black death" that comes with a system that is old and had been unused for a long time.

r134a cools real good,, have you checked to see if it is low on freon ?? hook up a set of gauges and chk the pressures ......Also r12 costs a lot more than r134a,and it is getting harder and harder to get it ,, .. people convert from r12 to r134a not the other way around
personally i would not recommend it,, and it sounds like your car is a bit low on freon , also chk the heater valve for proper function and adjustment...........and last.. what year bicycle is it ??
