Default 1988 Buick not cooling up to par - Best New R-12 Substitutes?

I own a 1988 Buick in mint condition. The A/C worked fantastic until
this season, when it appears to have lost some R-12 as the clutch is
short cycling the compressor.
The problem is that the R-12 will have to be recovered and then it will
need leak testing with a 700-micron or below vacuum drawn and then
charged with a refrigerant replacement. The refrigerant hoses may need
to be replaced for the new refrigerants. I do not do auto A/C! Your
opinions... .

What is the score on Autofrost/R-406A replacing R-12?

I need all the information anyone has concerning not having to recover
the R-12 yet!
It could be just a clutch problem, I need to have it checked.
Your opinions... .
