Evaporator froze up again.

Drove from Atlanta to Hilton Head today in 85 degree ambient temps (humidity high). Vent temps rose and airfow declined one hour into the trip (classic freeze up symptoms). Turned A/C off and opened up the windows for about 45 minutes, then turned fan on high and temp setting to lowest setting. All seemed well although compressor never shut off (even at lowest temp setting). Evap apparently iced up again....this time I did not notice a reduction in airflow BUT, after refueling in HH upon arrival (15-20min stop) upon start-up, ice shot out the center vents!

OK, to my point. Evap is orig and has recently been cleaned along with evap box. Thinking I need to upgrade to a modern serpentine evap unit to reduce freeze ups. If i do this, I will add a ProCooler "while im in there".

Seems like the condenser fans I've added have helped get my vent temps down but my old technology evap cannot handle it.

Make sense?
