Hey All, Sorry for the immense delay. Other projects - like WORK - called me away! I hate when that happens.
I'm scheduled to take the car in Tuesday (13th Nov) for the condenser swap.
I'll report soon. Oh, and the contact info on 'the' Condenser person's contact info is AT work... and I'm at home. Arrgh. Will tie a 12ga wire around my finger now so I won't forget to post that when I get there.
The contact info for the condenser that FIT EXACTLY in the original location (can't check out the coolness at the moment - not with the car) is Al Sanchez with CCS, 925 Peregrine Place, Anaheim CA 92806. PH: 714-991-0636.
Ask for Al. My dual parallel brand new condenser was about $260, packed very well, and fit great.

Sure would be nice to get a photo of the condenser BEFORE it is enclosed in the shroud.
Pretty please?

I took photos this morning of the wrapped condenser sort of laying in place atop the old one. Those'll come (heading out of town for a week with the family... Pantera withdrawals ensue!)
They should have all the work done by the time I get back and I asked him to take photos while things are coming together.
I should have ice cold ac... just in time for winter! Who says I'm not a good planner?

Now that it has FINALLY gotten hot here (or hot enough to try an air conditioner) I got my system charged up with my...
1) Rotary compressor
2) NEW condenser
3) 10" Spal Fan (the one in this thread wouldn't work with the new condenser)
Turned it on - ice cubes. Can't believe it. Measured 41 degrees at the vent. Used it ALL SATURDAY afternoon, windows up, worked incredibly well.
Since my interior is hyper insulated now (doors, roof, under carpet, firewall) it actually stays cool enough to turn it down.
The condenser - in the opinion of the installing tech - was 'the' ticket. I took the WORST photos of the thing while it was laying in there but may try again later.
I now noticed the condensers are on ebay...

My experiment has worked thus far, and in the Alabama heat, I'm loving it.

Glad to see your warm weather trials are giving such great low temps.
One thing I feel needs to be cleared up, though.
The original Pantera condenser was a tube and fin style. Very old school.
Newer automotive systems use what is called a parallel flow condenser. It is said to be lighter and more efficient, size wise, than the tube and fin style.
All your earlier postings had described your new unit as a "dual parallel condenser" and I had assumed you meant a parallel flow style unit.
After viewing the eBay auction listing, it is apparent the unit you installed is still the older style tube and fin style.
Others following your lead will want to refer to your condenser as a four row tube and fin unit.

Yes, the contact info is eariler in this post: is Al Sanchez with CCS, 925 Peregrine Place, Anaheim CA 92806. PH: 714-991-0636. Just tell them the application and they'll know. You may want to clarify the following...
By the way, I recalled a description of 'dual parallel' and only noticed this vendor (the same) had started placing condensors on ebay, thus the 'bump' to this original thread.
LF - TP 2511, I thought you may be right on mine being 'old' style vs. dual parallel. I called the installing tech who without prompting said, "Dual parallel".
I didn't catch that this auction was for anything but, however, it's worth making sure if anyone orders.
Best thing is - my air is icy cold. I'm shocked and amazed!
UPDATE: Did an ebay search, more are listed: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Pantera-New-4-Rows-AC-A-...sh=item370049251200&
sorry I didn't make myself clear.I am only looking for the fan that fit in the shroud using the factory condensor that was described at the beginning of this thread.

In the ebay link, you'll see "Pro Comp 10", 12 volt" and that should serve as enough to search ebay or autoparts store for. All I have.
