I think you have a major misunderstanding here.
If you replace the major components of the system, IE compressor and dryer you will NOT use "old type" refrigerant. It won't be quite as efficient as it originally was but should be adequate.
I think the dryer is the only part that must be replaced and the compressor can be re-used too if it is in good enough condition.
And finally, I KNOW that some people are obsessed with the Internet but some things are best done in person. Honestly.
Visit an A/C shop or two in your area. Ask what they would charge you to diagnose it. I think $300 is outrageous......unless they charge $150 per hour for labor. It should take them no more than 2 hours; more like one is my guess.
