if you want to make this a/c really perform when you change it back ,remove the condensor and clean off all the black paint so that you have shiny tubes.[mag wheel cleaner works very well spray on leave 5 mins and wash off,dont forget to seal ends from water intrusion]

David, great suggestion which I saw you post in another thread as well. Do you think there'd be any harm in using a spray-on paint stripper, letting it soak for 5 minutes, and then hosing off? Or would it be too agressive on the brazed connections?
