The EPA states that the "procedures required for a least-cost retrofit are simple and do not require major component changes. Generally, the process calls for the removal of the oil refrigerant, installation of new fittings and a new label and the addition of either a polyalkylene glycol (PAG) or polyol ester (POE or ester) lubricant as well as the R134a refrigerant"... EPA
There are many retrofit kits on the market you can get from an auto parts store like Autozone or Advance and even at discount stores like Wal-mart. ID and Quest are two brands on the market that have closed retrofit kits available.

Will R134A freon work in 89 Chevy truck?
It's only Freon if it was manufactured by DuPont, but to the important things... Your 89 would have had an R12 system from the factory. You can't use R134a in an R12 system unless you do at least a partial retrofit (evacuate all the R12 and compressor oil, replace the orifice tube, replace the accumulator, replace the hose connections, add PAG oil and R134a).

What kind of ac refrigerant does a 1990 gmc sierra take?
Originally it would have had r12. It could have been swapped over to r134a. The high and low service ports will tell you what you have. Small threaded service ports are r12. Larger quick connect/disconnect service ports are r134a. You should also be mindful that not all R12 to R134a conversions were done as a complete retrofit, and often a simpler method of replacing connectors, the orifice, and accumulator would be done, which would leave the original R12 schrader valves, in spite of it now being an R134a system. If in doubt, it never hurts to err on the side of caution and have a shop do a refrigerant purity test.
