In addition to barrier hoses, the condenser will likely need to be updated. The original is one long set of tubes wound back and forth, essentially a serial path for the freon. R134 does not work well in this type of condenser. It needs a modern parallel flow design. Old one will be OK'ish, but best cooling needs the new type, so add that to your estimate. Vintage Air is hard to beat when you need more that just a compressor and a couple hoses.
