Hi:
Actually - this mod is very simple.  You don't need to modify the GTV6
bracket, just use the complete compressor & bracket assembly from a Milano
(APE can supply the 'kit').  It will bolt right in without any modification.
See my web site:

I have not tried to use the new R134a gas yet since having done this
conversion 2 years ago, it still cools very well.  The 134a gas will not be
as efficient as freon however.  You could install a Milano radiator fan
which will improve the performance of the condenser and hopefully
compensate for the decreased performance.
