I've seen these kits before.
Before filling up with gas you really need to perform a full evacuation of the system to boil off any moisture and then pressure test with nitrogen before you fill with any gas. UV dye is normally added to aid leak detection. [PS do NOT use a halide torch or naked flame to test for a leak as R12 gas when burnt in a flame will produce mustard gas which is v dangerous !]
When refilling with gas the correct amount of oil is required too. R-134a requires a synthetic oil whilst the R12 used a mineral based.
These kits are OK for top up of newer systems but really the gas needs to be accurately weighed in.
Saying that though I would be interested to see what results you do get with this system but I think it would only be temporary. I have seen these kits for sale in Halfords and by the time you have bough the kits and the add on schraeder valves it comes to the same price as a proper re-charge.

Steve at the regas centre has shown me a few ideas and examples on how to do it. He did say that one way was the dye but there are many more ways to do it. He said have a word with him Nick, his name is Steve.
