I have no personal experience with doing a conversion, but most folks I've spoken with who've done it with cars of this vintage say that in a system designed for R-12, R-134-A is just not as cold.
This is true. I didn't think that R-134a might be a bad choice for a classic car. You wouldn't want to go through all the trouble of rebuilding and retrofitting the AC system to have it blow tepid air.

I put in this alternative stuff called Envirosafe.
I've heard of this stuff before. Supposedley it works really well, if you don't mind the fact that it is flammable as hell. But then again, so is gasoline.
