I have gotten away with it with a 1992 Mustang. Some people will tell you that you have to replace the seals in the whole system but you may not need to worry about it for as long as you own the car. Just replace them if you need to down the road and save your money now.
There is a difference in the weight of the oil in the different types of refrigerant. The converted systems never seem to cool as well as the old refrigerant but once your car is cooled then it stays cool in most cases.
I had my Mustang for 5 years after the conversion and it worked up until the day I sold it. I live in FL

A/C compressor front seal leaks 134a. Can the can of 134a with leak sealer really seal the leak?

No, the stop leak is designed to seal a leaky O-Ring. I have never seen anything fix a compressor seal other than replacement.

What is the refrigerant capacity for a 1990 GMC Suburban with rear air

If you're talking about a/c,it can't even be done unless it's by a shop.If your complete a/c has been updated within the last 15 years then it can be done.Pre-1995 used R-12 freon.1995 and after use R-134a freon.The R-12 requires a special permit just to buy,sell,use,or dispose of.The systems are non-compatible.The R-134a may fit the old filler,but it will not provide any cooling whatsoever.Sorry man.Greg

R12 2.40 lbs.
134a 2.00 lbs
Depends if your car is converted from r-12 to 134a. It likely converted because r-12 is banned in the US.
