Do i need a R-12 fluid for my civic 92? And where do i get them and where do i install it on the car?

go to an auto parts store and ask them.

You can only use r-134a legally in the united states. If your car was equipped with r-12 and hasn't been converted then you need to have the entire system evacuated and recharged with r-134a, oil and leak detector.

Look under the hood. If your car had R134 fitted by a previous owner, it has a sticker. If it still has the R-12 it came with, you cannot buy refills anywhere, they are no longer available, it is illegal to manufacture R-12, and only a licenced a/c fitter can refill your system with recycled freon, after he ensures there are no leaks. It is probably cheaper to go to the shop and have your system fitted for use with R134. It is not a job for the driveway, as the old refrigerant has to be reclaimed in a proper manner.
