If it's truly N.O.S., then yes it's a good deal.  They are out of production, and have been for a while, from what I understand.  There's a write up on TurboTbird on converting the system to the new freon.  Give it a read, it's in the tech articles section.

I did it just make sure you get all the old mineral oil out of everything before you start and might as well replace all those O-rings to the R134 spec pieces.
