JFFR,
Are you using the stock condenser fan or an aftermarket fan with greater CFM?
Coming home through the Owens Valley, it was over 100 deg outside air temp. My wife had to turn the air vent away from her as the air coming from it was too cold (it doesn't take much for her to get cold, though).
I still have all of the original design components. The only things that have ever been replaced are the compressor (currently using a York), one hose, and the drier. I was planning on replacing everything in the system except the evap before the Reno trip, but I ran out of time. Now I'm afraid to touch the system!! I think I might wait until something dies in the system before I make any changes. I will be using R12 whenever I install all of the new components.

I have an aftermarket condenser fan and a Sanden rotary compressor with a R134 expansion valve. I just used a drop in R12/R134 replacement refrigerant (Redtek R12A, which is as good or better than R12. I am still playing with the system a little bit, but pulling hot air from under the car through the condenser doesn't make sense. As if recall many years ago, the system did work quite well with the old York compressor and R12.
The new engine project will be taking all of the money this year, but if there is anything left, the condenser will be going up front where it belongs after that project is completed.
