I own a 1992 Honda Accord and for the last two years I haven't been
able to repair my AC. I was going to get some mechanics to do it but I
figure I'd try to do it myself(assuming it's easy enough for me).
Anyways, I know I have to buy some conversion kit or something like.
Just wanted to know if there's manual online that can help me go
through the whole process and everything.

Find tools and generic manuals here. http://www.acsource.com Expect to do
some background reading, to find out how AC systems work, general principles
of working on them, etc.

The kits are fairly inexpensive. If you have a vacuum pump ($$$) and a set
of R134a gauges ($) then it should be pretty easy. The steps are as
follows:

Replace all O-rings.
Flush the system with a solvent intended for this use.
Evacuate the system.
Verify that it will hold a vacuum. Overnight is good. A couple of days is
better.
Install R134a compatible oil.
Charge the system with the correct amount of R134a refrigerant. There
should be a sticker under the hood, information in the owner's manual, or
something stating the correct amount to use.

Alternate plan:

Take a Mexican vacation.
"Por favor, ¿Dónde arreglan los acondicionadores de aire?"
Return to U.S., system fixed and charged with R12.
