The real trick is the Griffith's two rear fender condensers. And a really really really good vacuum. They system has to be moisture free, and moisture will turn to ice and hide in the long hoses and multiple components.
It is truly impossible to achieve too good of a vacuum.
Of course it all comes down to what you expect from your AC. If you live in So Cal, or up north where 100+ days are rare, it the system is not tasked much. If you live in an area with 100+ days on a regular basis, you will want Griffith's full Mr. Ice project. That is what I have, and I just love the cold air when it is 100+ outside, and my wife is happy to ride with me.

I’ve read upon the Griffiths, but while Charleston gets hot and humid, I’m not driving it enough, to justify the Mr. Ice system. There are other things that I want to work on first.
I pulled a vacuum for four hours again today. I’ll check the gauges tomorrow morning, and when I get home, I’ll run the vacuum pump some more. I’m hesitant to let it run in the garage overnight.
I haven’t done any trips longer than two hours yet, and my local driving is usually short trips.
