Just buy a can at the auto parts store. You can only get the new stuff. Get the can with the short hose. It will only connect to the one proper fitting on the car. If it doesn't you need to retrofit. Ask the parts store guy. You just change the fitting. Add new refrigerant, and put a decal under the hood. You are supposed to have the old freon recycled but if your A/C isn't blowing cool air then it has already leaked out anyway. Get a can of stop leak too.

Easy way to tell is your hose connections to charge it with.
If the connections are quick connect connectors then it is R-134. If the connection points are the old style that you have to screw on then it is R-12
Some vehicles made then still came with R-12 so came with R-134 in fact seen both ways on same makes and models.
If your Toyota has the old R-12 and you want to change over it is best to take it an have the system completely flushed out because the oils used in R-12 and R-134 are not compatible with each other.
Those retro fit kits you can buy don't work all that good. So best to takei it and have system flushed and cleaned out good instead of using them.
