I have converted several cars from R-12 to R-134 and Have never changed condensors. I have always replaced the receiver dryers and orifice tubes and flushed out the condensor and evaporators out before recharging. I plan on either using R-134 or freeze 12 when I get my vette that far. R-134 will cool alright unless you are at Idle and you dont get enough air moving thru the condensor to cool things down. If you switch to an electric fan you will get better R-134 cooling. It operates at much higher pressures over R-12 and generates more heat especially at slow speeds.

This is what your looking for. The stock unit will work, but all the ne systems use the paralell flow condensors because they are more efficient
