I believe the 1990 Subaru originally came with R12 refrigerant, which can not be purchased by do-it-yourself repair people. So assuming you are doing it yourself, you'll need to evacuate the AC system completely and replace it with R34, or take it to a shop that specializes in AC repair. Make sure to replace the filter/drier while you have the system taken appart. That's a cheap part ($15-$30) that can cause the compressor to turn on and off quickly if it gets plugged up.
