AC Drier Question

My ac hose had a leak on my 66 Toronado and I sent it off for repairs. While I have the system open, I am going to replace the drier assembly. I got an AC Delco drier and just noticed it has a sticker on it that says for R134a systems. I am still running R12. Is this drier ok to put on the car or do I need to look for a drier that is R12 specific?

Dryer works with both R12 & R134a. All that sticker is saying is it is an oem dryer, and it is also okay for 134a also.

Yep. The one I bought back in 2000 had the same sticker on it and I used it with R-12.

I had two AC shops tell me that both a new dryer unit and an expansion valve work with both 12 and 134 with no mods.
