I agree, stay away from the PFC, unless you live in AZ, and your car is BLACK, it's not needed. pre 85 123 condensers are weak, and inadequate when dirty, but when clean, the coil will cool well running R12. the 85 is better still. add window tint as dark as is legal, and you will be even cooler in the car.
the PFC condenser has a serious flaw... it cannot be cleaned. WHEN the compressor fails, the coil will need replacement. when it cloggs with debris, cleaning is NIGH impossible... also, and the volume of refrigerant with the PFC is quite low...
