1993 and before it is R-12, 1994 and later its R-134a
It is still possible to aquire R12 Freon, but the cost is excessive. My advice is to convert the system to R134a.
Would have been built for R12, can be converted to R134a.

Remove the freon from the 86 LeSabre with a reclaiming machine. Take off the ac belt and disconnect the hoses from the compressor. Unbolt the compressor and remove it. Bolt the new unit in place and hook up the new hoses. Pull a vacuum on the system and fill with freon
A 2000 Buick LeSabre typically requires about 2 to 2.5 pounds of R-134a refrigerant, which is approximately equivalent to 1 to 1.5 cans of the standard 12-ounce refrigerant cans. It's essential to check the system's specifications and any service guidelines for precise requirements. Always ensure the system is properly evacuated and serviced by a qualified technician.
Most US vehicles before 1994 were R12, so the car will need to be retrofitted.
You can add Freon to your 1999 Chevy cooling system through the low pressure port. Connect your Freon bottle to the low pressure port and release the Freon into the system.
No, a radiator does not contain freon, as freon is a refrigerant used in air conditioning systems, not in vehicle cooling systems. Radiators typically use coolant or antifreeze to regulate engine temperature. If there is a leak in a vehicle's cooling system, it would involve coolant rather than freon. However, if you are experiencing issues with your air conditioning system, it may indicate a freon leak in that specific system instead.
Your answer is on a tag under the hood.
The 1998 Chevrolet 2500 pickup truck has a Freon capacity of 5.5 pounds. You should never overfill the Freon in your cooling system.
Everything takes a different form of Freon. Drain the system if it has not been so prior then add R134a Freon into the coolant system.
