The only time a large cooling unit.... like installed in a house situation... is too large.... the problem does not become cooling... but HUMIDITY... because it cools so fast that it does not have a chance to drop the moisture from the air... thus it cools to the set temperature of the ' pilot operated' switch as MB calls it.... the setting the person sets the cooling temperature to... but you have a humidity level which is uncomfortable...

The Sanden design is so much better than the R4 it replaced that it is not too big with regards to the engine being able to run it... and the sensors and switches in the system make the decisions as to the temperature.... determined by the amount of liquid refrigerant the TxValve lets into the evaporator..... as long as there is compressed fluid refrigerant from somewhere above the bottom of the condensor.... to the Txvalve... then the compressor size is ok.

I still say that doubling up the condensers in front of the radiator is not a viable idea.
I would try a high efficiency fan next....
