"Rock I got the air installed and the system charged. It was blowing 32 degrees inside and does not seem to have added much to the heat of the radiator temperature. You were correct the small size of the condenser does not tell the story of how good a job it does. Very pleased. The only adived I would give would be to make the hose from the dryer to the evaporator about a foot longer. Using the existing evaporator does not seem to be a problem as far as match and working with R134 A."
Michael E. MD Aug 2011
"We completed the upgrade and charged the system last week and everything is working fine. Getting about 35 deg at the vents and lots of air from the new blower motor.", "All in all about 15 hurs of my time to get the new hoses, evaporator upgrades and the new rear condenser in and another 2 hours for the A/C techs to fix an existing front condenser issue, oil and test the charge system.", "The car is much more pleasant to drive, even with the Targa top off. The low setting on the A/C prevents the cabin from warming up and everything is cool with the top on.", "I got quite excited when I saw the drips of water from the evaporator on my garage floor. Never seen that before!!!!"
