the other thing mashori expressed to me when he wanted a different a/c system was the weight of the system. he was interested in lossing some of the weight of the ac system. so mo what are the weights of those boxes?
I never had any issues with the air temp coming out of the vents, it was always around 35-42°F windows up or down. I think my inefficiency is the temp control in the interior (sunload, lack of insulation, air leaks, etc). The biggest condenser you can fit out front is a necessity for R134a as well.
I gotta look into the weight, I probably incorrectly just assumed that smaller means lighter. My AC unit was very heavy. Probably still had a good amount of water in the heater core though.
this is the reply I got back from VA regarding Gen IV vs Gen II: --------- The Gen IV is a bigger unit and will give you the most cooling capacity and air volume. The Gen IV technology does not use a thermostat and that is why there are only three controls. It has a thermistor probe installed in the unit here a the factory. The Gen II will require you to insert the capillary tube into the evaporator case when you install the unit. -------- Is it a big deal that I have to install a capillary tube?
In short, No, not a big deal. The biggest difference will be how you want the controls and where, and what type of controls you get. Either one looks good to me, but for the money, if you decide on the GenII, get the highest capacity unit you can fit. If I remember, the Supercooler will fit behind our dash and they have hose kits you can hook up but you may have to come up with an adapter of sorts for the defroster duct, and the controls don't quite fit right where ours are originally, so you may have to remount them somewhere else.
