You may well have a safety issue with the old fridge.Some old refrigertors have used back then a group two refrigerant.This refrigerant call Sulphur DIOXIDE was used in older refrigerator to keep things cold.This gas is TOXIC. It is irritating to breathe and may be slightly flammable.Be carefull not to break any lines when removing the fridge from the house....GOOD LUCK.
