Making the system stronger is a project for another day when I can devote more time to it. Could be the old condensors, old evaporator, ProCooler having gotten too saturated with moisture, etc, etc... For the immediate future, I'm just going to enjoy a functional, even if not ideal, system for the first time in my 3.5 years of owning the car.

When you get around to trying to make the system work better, make sure you check your coils for dirt blocking the fins. If the evaporator is dirty (or the condensers for that matter) the system won't cool properly. I point to the evaporator because the fan system in this car had enough work to do without trying to move air across a partially blocked coil.
