Elijah.  Were you able to find a "kit" that included the required O rings?

Hey Brad,
  
  The conversion kits I have purchased only had the fittings, oil charge, and refrigerant.
  
  However, I bought a nifty little box of O-rings at Advance Auto Parts  that had all of the O-rings in the correct sizes for the system.   The O-rings specified R-134a compatibility, and were green rather than  black.  The box had several of different sizes.  It's been  about 3 years ago, but it seems like there were about 20 rings in the  box, and it cost less than $10 (probably more
 like $5).  They had  several different boxes of these hanging on the rack behind the counter.
  
  I'd say just ask at your favorite store for R-134a compatible O-rings.  :o)
  
  Good luck!
  
  Elijah
