A/C system Reply #60 – July 20, 2013, 02:33:08 AM Quote from: snidet_bird;418886I looked up the fan, its a Flex-a-lite electric kit that is rated for 3300 cfm, which I think is far more than the factory mechanical fan would do. Flex-a-lite exaggerates their cfm a bit. I'd expect it to be ~2900 instead of 3300. As a reference, the 16" Taurus fan flows ~3800 cfm (30% more than the Black Magic). MN12 fan flows ~4300 cfm (~50% more than the BM). IMO, the BM isn't adequate to give acceptable A/C performance for our vehicles.

I'm removing my SN95 condenser and putting one of those in my '87 T-bird once my HGs are replaced. Quote Selected

This is a good point that I didn't think about since we were focusing on high pressures unless the condenser was manually cooled. Airflow from the evaporator into the cabin could greatly affect cooling also. Some people (rarely) get blockages in the evaporator from debris. The blend door is the other possibility.He did mention that the car cools better on the highway though, which points toward either inadequate condenser cooling, refrigerant level, or compressor.
