I am looking for the recharge port but I am also unsure whether I can recharge with the new refrigerant that is on the market. I think the freon was R-12 and I believe the new version is R34. Thanks for any help.

You can't mix the two some systems can be coverted to 134a. This is a job best left to a professional. The least that has to be done is new accumulator new seals on all hoses different orfice tube and possible compressor.
Find an A.S.E. certified AC shop and do it right
