In Texas, R134a systems are marginal at best.

(What a p.i.a., this greenhouse gas idea is a lot of politics and very little science.)
I have changed mine out to this exact condenser. It been about 95 degrees here and it has performed great with Freeze-12. I've been consitantly getting 40 degrees (at idle and normal driving) to sometimes 38 degrees (on highway speeds). I would definitely recommend a change of condensor if you are going to use anything other than R12.
