no u can not mix the 2 togather it wil ruin the hvac system
An R12 system must be retrofitted to be made compatible with R-134a.
There were some R134a units in 1992, but they were not the norm. Most likely, you have an R12 unit, which requires retrofitting in order to be compatible with R134a.

In order to remain compatible you should use the same type of freon that is in the system already. If the system has not been converted to R134a it would have R12 in it. R12 is much less used now and more expensive than R134a. You might want to consider having it converted to R134a If it has been converted to use R134a then use that freon.

YOU WILL NEED TO FLUSH THE SYSTEM TO REMOVE THE OLD OIL. ALSO INSTALL A HIGH PRESSURE SWITCH AS REQUIRED BY THE EPA. THEN INSTALL CORRECT AMOUNT OF OIL COMPATIBLE WITH R134A. CHARGE TO ABOUT 80% OF R12 BY WEIGHT.
R134a.
Freon R12 refrigerant is so very expensive that I recommend you have the A/C converted to R134a. But first you must have the leak repaired. The shop will then remove any R12 left in the system, flush the system to remove the old oil, install fresh oil that is compatible with R134a, and charge the system. If there is any R12 left they may pay you to recover it.
R12 was in use up until the 90's when R134A was introduced. I believe R12 was phased out at the end of 94, And R134A took it's place from 95 on. I hope that's the answer you're looking for.
