I have a recollection that a 16x22 condenser will fit in the original spot.
Parallel flow - purportedly more efficient than OEM. I think I found this
info on The Samba.

I had my eye on this one, but have since placed my beloved Westy Milton
with a new owner - strangely, he is participating in this very thread.

It is an odd feeling being the dread 'DPO' (DDPO) myself now.

After scouring the Earth for a condenser to maximize the available space in my Westy last year, this is absolutely the best option.  I installed one (along with a herd of other mods) with R-134A and it made a considerable difference (compared to a 14 x 17 parallel flow I previously installed, itself much better than stock with R-134A).  The Nostalgic Air folks are a top notch vendor IME, some of the best customer service around.  They can also supply the drier, and likely any vents, ducts, or louvers, or fittings that you need.  Prices are more than competitive as well.
