Short answer, yes. If your system has not been opened, you only need to vacuum before loading. R414 is compatible with mineral oils and all other R12 components, however...

Long answer, it has similar properties to R12, but not exactly the same so when installing it in a system designed for R12 you'll need to pay close attention to pressures and temperatures. Don't be surprised if the sight glass doesn't clear, most auto systems will only require 80-85% R414 by weight which will likely leave bubbles in the sight glass, filling to clear the SG will likely result in an overfill condition.

Define "older model". Up to the early 90s, they used R-12/CFC-12. Good luck trying to get that anymore. R414B is the recommended replacement for R12 systems.

There is only one Freon, and that is R12. R12 Freon came installed in your 1991 Chevy. It may or may not have been changed over to R134 Refrigerant. If not change it over, as the cost of R12 is unbelievably high an is no longer in production.
