not really. unless the condenser has ingested water resulting in acid that damages the coils. or the fins are damaged from debris, I'd just flush it well internally, and clean the coils externally with strong detergent designed for condenser cleaning.
the 85 is the best year for the condenser, so unless you are planning on upgrading to a parallel flow and building your own fittings etc, it's best to keep it stock... of course in arizona, you need all the a/c you can get, and black tinted windows to boot... adding a 2nd condenser wouldn't be out of the question!
