I installed a fan on the rear deck condener and it has helped. I went through several stages of upgrades fron the original non-barrier hoses/r-12 system that rarely got temps below 60 on a 90 degree+ day. i was talked in to converting to 134 and although it was cheaper in 1999 to recharge, the cooling suffered. I went back to r-12, installed the pro cooler and barrier hoses. Temps got into the mid to low 50's. Last year I got the evaporator/expansion valve and bow tie from Charlie G. and the deck lid fan from Performance Aire. (I only have 1/2 the condenser in the deck lid since my car is a 930.) The bow tie really aids in the air movement. I will mention that I dismantled the fan in the smugglers box and thoroughly cleaned/adjusted the container to insure that the fan operates as intended.) I now get temps in the 40's and typically have to turn down the thermostat to avoid freeze ups.

I'm interested in the fan that Jim mounted and have been in contact with a company called Vintage Aire about a serpentine condenser to supplement what I currently have.
