Does the 1990 FJ62 have a different AC Compressor than 89 or 88 models? I know the body is a different size on some of these compressors and I need to replace mine. I have searched but have not found a thread with a clear answer.

The FJ62's used two different compressors, either a 10PA15C or a 10P15C. This will help, it's a short video I made several years ago. Land Cruiser compressor id
Charging Air Conditioning in an FJ60
I didn't find specifics on YouTube or threads on here. I get a bit of cold air in my factory air but its weak and it's getting warmer and I'm hoping for an easy recharge but also not a mechanical pro but willing to learn this sorcerery. Just don't want to screw it up. I'm pretty sure I see...

Very helpful information. So it looks like I should be able to look at the plate where the hoses attach to get a good idea of which compressor is in my 1990 FJ62. And if I am going to retro fit the unit to 134 then I just need a different oil, right?
Yep. You'll want PAG46 oil.
You'll also need new O rings throughout the system. Given the age of the truck this is a good idea regardless, but R134A molecules are much smaller than those of R12 and require different material O rings than what came in original R12 systems in order to avoid leakage over time. HNBR is a good material compatible with both R134A and R12.
