'85+ W126s at least received a better condenser (tubes are smaller) and a bigger aux fan. Late 126s had dual aux fans. Also the size of the main cooling fan plays a big part into pulling air across the condenser too
Tint makes a world of difference too.
Stick with R12 on these cars or go the extra step to a parallel flow condenser if you plan to use an alternate refrigerants. I am actually curious how a parallel flow would work with R12.

Ditto on both accounts.
In my TE on a hot/humid
cloudy day, the a/c will run me out. On the exact same hot/humid day but with
sun, I am cool but not cold. I like to be cold on hot/humid days. I need tint.
I have plenty of R12 and too have wondered about using a parallel flow condenser.
