I would swap the compressors, changing the seal can be a real pain, if you handle that new seal incorrectly with your bare hands it can leak. If you change over to R134 you need to have the compressor off so you can be sure to drain out all the old type oil first. The receiver dryer should be changed to the type, compatible with R134. The hoses should ok for use, it might be a good idea to replace the o-rings in the connections with the (R134 compatible) newer type.
