You will be amazed at how much better a Sanden does even with everything else stock. A PF condenser will give even better results. If you can get R12, it would be better regardless of what equipment is used. It is also my experience (and that of others), that maximum air flow across the condenser is needed when running 134a. I like to have the aux fan running whenever the compressor is engaged, and not rely on the thermal switch (it comes on too late, and takes longer to cool things down)....Rich
