I have not gotten the front condenser or dryer yet but I will probably get those from a high efficiency system off some sealed Japanese luxury system at a junkyard, R-134. better cooling and lowers horse power usage. I will also use the newer R-12 replacement, that is called R-12a etc. This is legal for mail order and no flourocarbons. R-134 is a bad gas that is not as efficient and requires more pump pressure and horsepower to just kind of work, that is why more efficient system is required for this gas. The R-12a is also 12 % more effiecient than regular R-12. As long as I keep the standard R-12 valve at the evaporator I need not to make any modifications. Some of those High efficiency 5 or 6 cylinder pumps get that black death scenario and I have experienced that so I will use one of those oldie one banger cast iron Techmush or 2 banger York that is taboo because of the use of 4 to 5 horses on standard R-12. As long as I use a High efficiency condeser setup with dual fans, insulate the car better, use long copper input/output lines and use the R-12 replacement, I do not need those new type plastic piston ring five to six banger pumps. I have no bracket for these types anyhow or anyway to fit these without getting rid of my aircleaner, none are stodgy enough. Nothing installed yet, just accumulating all the parts first. Once installed and used, I will make reports on the cooling, performance and how much heat is detected from my head temp senders.
