Reply to "A/C thermostat dial is a switch, no difference in cooling output between barely on and cranked."

There seem to be two lengths used for that bourdon tube that inserts in the A/C box- a short and a longer one. And a few are 'coiled' which means the necessary hole will have to be bigger. Fresh duct tape along the edges of the box might increase efficiency a little. Some condensate drain hoses are kinked where they go from the bottom of the box thru the front firewall. I routed mine straight down thru the inside of the console and thru the floor. Then I used the now-unused drain hole for routing the wiring for a dropped battery.
