1990 seca sx, air-con gas?

Hello all,
I just bought a 1990 seca sx and I believe the air con may need a re-gassing.
I don't know whether it has the new or old type of gas, I know this car was made about the time of the changeover.
So my question is, did this year car have the new or old type?
And a follow up question is, if it is the old type, how much should I expect to pay to change over to the new type, and get it regassed?
Alternatively, if it is the new type, how much should I expect to pay for a re-gas?
Thanks for any help

Originally came out with r12 gas - old
It may have been changed over already. To get it converted to r134a which is what all current cars come with, you would be looking at 250 - 300 mark including filter.

Thanks for the info.
Can anyone recommend a workshop that does good work on air con systems?
I'd prefer a place around hornsby or somewhere else on the north shore, but I don't mind if it's elsewhere.

I think the guy at my work will do it for $250 as long as the system is still ok and still works...
