Oh OK. I had my original condenser but it was too beat up, so I found another one and bought it, but then when I removed my ducting I discovered the stock condenser was still too wide for where I was mounting it, so I opted for the universal one. Why are you getting a larger condenser for R134a? I'm planning on using the same refrigerant but my condenser is smaller than the stock one.

R134a is less efficient than R12, and therefore needs a larger condenser to achieve the same ⌂T. IE the conditioned air won't be as cold.
