Default How many lbs of freeon needed for R-12?

Just wondering how many lbs of R-12 freeon is needed to fully re-charge a 93 SC400? I heard that they are charging $100/lb for the R-12 refrigerant. So I am just thinking of finding a shop that will retrofit my A/C to R-134a.

R12 = 32-35oz OR 2.09 lbs.
