if the compressor and the installation is filled with old type oil (3GS), than you have to retrofit, changing the oil with syntethic oil. if there is not more than 3% old oil inside the compressor, you can change to the new gas R404A.
if the compressor is older than about 15 years, best ask the factory.

I think so. For R404A just check if the current draw by the compressor motor will still be acceptable.
