Also, while some may suggest a complete upgrade of all of the a/c components, I'm just not there in terms of finances. So I was thinking of the best bang for my buck (in getting some version of chilled air into my car) might be to also purchase and install the RennAir Pro cooler kit. Again, anyone with feedback on this? Thank you, Tom

RennAire makes good products. Though I didn't buy their hose kit, I'm sure it will fit just fine. Also, I have the ProCooler. The car seemed to blow cooler after I installed it, but I added some other things as well at the same time, so it can't say for certain how much of a difference the ProCooler made. Since you're going to have the hoses out of the car, installing a ProCooler now makes sense because once you open the system, you'll need to replace the receiver/dryer anyway. So, why not just replace it with a ProCooler.
Also, you might consider fabbing your own subcooler (which is what the ProCooler is). Do a search for "Jim Sims" and "subcooler" (without the quotation marks) for more info. HughR, another BBS member, is a big proponent of the Sims subcooler.
Good luck!
