96 should be 134A I would not worry because R-12 fittings will not fit 134A fittings and 134A will not fit R12 so if you bought a can of freon with a hose on it and the hose will attach to the fitting on the car then you have the right freon.

R134a is the factory type of refrigerant and can be purchased over the counter at any parts store. If you think you have a leak you can also get it with leak detector in it that won't harm the system and an ultraviolet light will show up any leaks. You can also get it with stop-leak if you need it. Be sure if you get it though you get the mix where coolant and oil are premixed in the can so there is no guesswork involved. I don't recommend the stop leak unless the light shows it to be around the clutch on the compressor. Anything else is better and cheaper to repair and refill.

96 it probably "was" R-12 which is no longer available. so R134 must be used after it is converted. (orifice tube ,receiver dryer ,flushed ,adapters and PAG oil ) many shops cheat and only do the adapters. the two oils wont mix.
