R-134A shares the same basic operating characteristics as R-12. There is no "required" discharge pressure. Most manufacturers of equipment use 100deg.F as a standard for condensing temperature, in rating the capacity of their units. Discharge pressure is dependent on quantity of charge, ambient outside temperature (condensing pressure), and suction pressure. These factors all control discharge pressure in a normally operating system. Throw in a compressor with valve leakage or piston ring/ seal issues and it gets more complicated. If this is an automotive related question, read the can. lc
No, there is retrofitting required.
All cars manufactured after 1993 were required to use R134a refrigerant.

R134a goes into the low pressure port
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.
All r134a low pressure (suction) connections are the same size. All high pressure connections are the same size. The low and high connections do not interchange.
Density of R-134a changes with respect to temperature and pressure.
Was built for R12, can be converted to R134a
