Do not forget that Freeze12 and other similar "drop-ins" are technically illegal to use. Also, make sure none of it is in the system if you have a mechanic work on your car as it will contaminate his recovery machine.

I don't think they're illegal here in Canada (but not sure though). I do know those 1-lb over-the-counter R134A cans and any R134A DIY kits are illegal to sell here, but the replacements aren't...

Where is this information from?
  Freeze 12 and Freezone  are EPA approved as long as regulations are followed ..eg: dedicated equipment , not mixing refrigerants etc...

There are shops around here that I know have used both with dedicated equipment .

Actually, you appear to be correct. Freeze12 used to be listed as illegal on the EPA website, but I see that now it is listed on the "acceptable" list. If I recall however, you must use Freeze-12 specific fittings and label the system accordingly.

Nonetheless, it's still 80% 134A.

Interesting! Thanks for the heads up!
