I live in San Antonio where it gets hot (90-100 degrees) most days of 9 months of the year. I installed Retroaire's simple one condenser kits on both my 70 911 and my 69 912 and am happy with both. Can't tell you what temps I have at my vents but can tell you that (except when stuck in stopped traffic) both cars are cool enough to make it tolerable. When stuck in traffic I need to rev the engine of the 911 to get air flowing through the condenser. In the 912 I had room to install a cheap fan that pulls air through half the condenser and these seems to almost overcome the issue but a little reving still required. Biggest problem in the 912 is that with the a/c running it's not likely to win a drag race with a bicycle.

So happy with Retroaire that I'm about to order a bunch of new components for the my current 84 with a 3.8 liter project. This project will use their evaporator and blower mounted in a Behr box in the smuggler's box, hoses and dryer along with a 993 condenser in the left front fender and a 993 compressor.
