Our first Legacy had been converted to R134, from R12, and it didn't work when we got it, it ended up being the Expansion valve, had to take the dash out to get to it.....but after installing a new expansion valve, it worked great...
I'm in the same predicament with my new SVX, and expect it will be the same deal, so I'm just living without AC right now, as I removed all the AC stuff in FrankenWedge, and don't feel like pulling the dash out of my SVX right now (but I sure do wish the AC was working)
Thinking about switching the cloth seats out of my parts car into it, so I won't be sitting on that hot leather
