Great engines, mine did loads of drift days on the limiter. Even used to do the production car races on the oval at matchams with it.
It took loads of abuse for 4 years before it let go and even then it only bent a valve.
Plus they sound awsome when bouncing of the limiter with a ashley manifold and system.

Testing the future
The system may need to be topped-up every couple of years due to natural seepage though as the R134a is a slightly lighter gas.
Use a good 10w40 semi-synthetic oil, some will tell you to use 5w30, but it is too thin on most of these engines and will leak from most places.

and at what temperature is 5w30 thinner than 10w40?
