I'm pretty sure that's not the case.

ok not esactly the same but nearly as 134 a works a bit higher pressure about 20 psi but thisis not high enough tomake any diffrence as you can retro fit any car by changing the oil ,ports and gas just add 20% less 134a we have been doing this for about 8 years with no problems but what im trying to say is you dont need a new pressure switch just because your changing the gas the change in pressures are minimal
