AC CONDENSER UPGRADE IDEAS??

Well, the AC didn't work on the Vegas trip and today was the day to troubleshoot. Hooked up my gauges and no pressure on either side - not a good sign, eh? Frowner

Grabbed one of my $20 cans of R12 and my side tap fitting and fed it in, engine running, to find the leak. Went to grab my electronic sniffer, but then I saw the foaming oil mess pouring out of the condenser. Eeker

So, I need a new condenser. Seems like the perfect time to upgrade the condenser and fan, right?

A little fabrication doesn't bother me at all, though I do want to try to keep my hoses and will NOT switch from R12. And I'm keeping it in the stock location.

So, who has done what or bought what from whom?
