During my design and installation I found the condenser is the problem with R134 systems not getting low evap temps. I am running a 508 with R134, original condenser, evap, and blower.
I upgraded the condenser fan after discovering the condenser was the issue.It helped some but not the 100% solution to cold temps. You can get a new parallel flow condenser for around $120 that should give you low 30's for vent temps with R134.
As mentioned above, make sure you replace the drier, hoses, and the expansion valve ($30).
If you convert to R134 and just replace the condenser fan (and items above) you should have vent temps in the 40's (Okay but not like a new car). This is the set up I have now and it worked well into the 90's in August. It was just too the edge off on the way home.
My next upgrade will be the parallel flow condenser that will get the temps into the low 30's.
If needed I can make A/C hoses for you. I installed one fitting on the hose (in my shop) and the routed the hose through the car. After all the hoses where routed I installed the last few fitting while the hoses were in the car.
Best of luck
