I have recently put everything from this package into my 1985 except the compressor (mine is a reman original that is still perfect).
Recharged the system with 910 gr R134a based on pressure readings).

In addition I put in the new blower motor and PWM control.

To date, the warmest day I drove the car was about 27C, only since this week we are getting 30C and more.

Performance :
- blows cold air in about 2 minutes
- gets really cold after about 7 minutes
- I can select the noise level now thanks to the pwm control and new blower motor moves much more air than the original
- as I have an 85 the side vents are tiny and useless so the cold air is really only coming through the center vents (which only move left/right) so this is the main limitation now
- after initial cooling when heat soaked I turn the blower motor from about 75pct to about 30 pct and it keeps the car cool and runs silently
- had to move the front condensor motor to another fuse as the single 25A ac fuse was getting too hot
- perfect installation instructions, only for the long hoses it took 2 tries to make them match up with the fittings

I will take a drive later today in the +30C heat and update if necessary.

Very happy with the build quality of the system and the performance so far.
