I haven't had functional AC in the FD since I've owned it so anything will be an improvement in that regard
I'm reinstalling AC too after not having it for years lol. Black car, black interior, no AC. Not a good idea. I bought a universal condenser and mounted it about 1.5" above the radiator. Not quite as far apart as yours. I'd say I'll do some testing so we can compare and see which works better, but other differences in our builds might taint the results and, I'll be honest, I never really follow through with stuff like that anyway lol.
