I believe that car is on the R12 system. However, you can not purchase R12 freon unless you are a Certified Technician and you have your Freon card. So, what I have done in the past, is convert the system to R134A. You can do this by simply buying a Retro Kit for about $30.00 to $35.00 and you can complelety eliminate the old freon. If you are technically inclined, you should be fine doing this on your own. Otherwise, consult a professional, because A/C systems can be very touchy.

Was built for R12, should be converted to R134a
The OEM refrigrant that is came with is R12. R12 is very expensive and no longer made so have it converted to R134a.
Freon' is a brand name for 'refrigerant', the type of refrigerant used on early 1990 Honda Civics was R-12. Now a license is required for someone to properly charge the system so many owners have switched to R-134a.

No, you must use the correct Honda Long Life Coolant Type 2 or a comparable fluid.
A 1997 Honda Civic uses DOT3 type brake fluid. This is the standard for power brakes in most cars for the last 20 years.
"Honda Genuine" transmission fluid is the correct fluid type. Specifically use this type or it will cause damage.
Would have been built for R12, can be converted to R134a.
It is important to use the right type of engine oil in a car to help it run well. The 2006 Honda Civic uses 5w-30 engine oil.
Your best bet is to call the dealership for a recommendation.
