You're going to get a lot of foolish responses from people that have never
made the conversion and never added the extra condenser.
Almost any Vanagon Front Condenser will easily bolt to the bottom of your
van and they're normally very cheap, I never paid more than $5.00 for one
here in Texas.
You just need to be sure that you have the round tube type condenser and not
the rectangle extruded aluminum finned type.
If you replace the dryer/receiver, the seals in your compressor and the
expansion valve all to 134 compliant you'll be able to hang meat in the van
on ten minute rides.
So when some body says something, remember to ask: "Have you ever done
that?" and that should send you in the right direction.
Been there done that as far as the A/C 134 conversion with the extra
condenser goes.

Subject: 134 conversion

Hi,

Its getting to be that time of year when I will be thinking about converting
to 134a from r 12. I'm in so. florida and a/c is important. I looked on the
list serve and it seems that to get the a/c nice and cold with 134a is to
add another condenser. Is there one made for a 1991 carat? If not where can
i find one that will work and where do i install it.
thanks Jim
