LAST thing I would want is to convert, then have either a compressor failure, or have the expensive R12 leak out next year.

Its in the works for the long run, but right now I am buying a house so I can't drop $500 to do a full system replacement and back conversion But I figure I can boost A/C performance temporarily and of even greater amount when I back convert.

I'm reading that it may not fit on the older style condenser because of the shroud used.
What about another option of fitting one larger single fan or would two twin fans as mentioned above work better?
Hmm.
the shroud used, on a newer 124 should fit any other year 124. I plan on pulling the fans from my gasser parts cars, and installing them on my 87 wagons.
the condenser does not need to be changed, HOWEVER, the newer condenser from 93 up were DESIGNED to operate on 134, so they are better as well... I'm just sayin...
