What kind of container can you use to collect old refrigerant?
old refrigerant is a gas and needs to be pumped out or removed via vacuum with the proper machine which deposits it into the same type of tank that new refrigerant is contained in because of pressure. evacuating refrigerant into the air is dangerous and if inhaled is poisonous to people. not to mention illegal if in California. You could try one of those conversion kits from r12 to r134 hooking up the hoses may allow refrigerant to flow into an empty refrigerant btl.
What will Moisture in a vehicle's AC system will cause?
Moisture in a vehicles AC system can react with the R134a or R12 refrigerant and create an acid that will eventually eat through seals and o-rings and even orifice tube parts.

How do you charge the ac on a 1990 silverado w r-12?
First the low side port should be identified, connecting w/ a set of guages- apply at least 28" of vacuum for ten minutes. If the reading on your guages (vacuum) moves (loses) vacuum in 15 minutes don't charge the system- you have a leak. If the vacuum guage doesn't move (leak) then charge with the proper amount of refrigerant gas.
