I got myself a $60 can of refrigerant with dye (Autozone) and a set of r1234 adapters for my old r134a gauges (another $30 from amazon). Amazon also sells evacuation pumps (2 stage, even) for under $200.
In the grand scheme of things, the tool prices for these jobs have dropped a lot in the last 20 years while the cost of refrigerant has skyrocketed!
You know you can use R134. If it's not going to be warranty work, there won't be any other reason not to use 134. The R1234 is supposed to be "more environmentally friendly." If you're worried about your carbon footprint. Of course, they said DEF wasn't toxic to people or the environment for the last couple decades, but now that's not true either. You'll still need the proper adapters to hook up and fill it.
