honda a/c compressors ( on the 4 cyl's ) rarely take more than five horsepower. theoretically routing the a/c to cool the intercooler is a good idea. however when you take into consideration that the condenser for the a/c is on the high temperature side of the system it would be creating just as much heat as the evaparator ( low temperature side what is inside the cabin and would be what needs to be placed in front of the intercooler to acomplish said task ) is trying to eliminate thus making no effective cool air gains.

as far as refrigerant names go: r-12 is a chlorofluorocarbon, old now illegal as part of the clean air act of 1991 stating that by 95 all cars must be changed to r-134a a hydrofluorocarbon and said to be less harmful to the environment.

freon is dupont's name for r-12
suva is dupont's name for r-134a
however most people call all refrigerants freon.
