Default 32 degrees!

across the evaporator. I'm almost ready to declare victory over the AC. Here's what it took:
Sanden Compressor
Super Cooler condenser from VintageAir
Alum Radiator
Dual Spals
GM evaporator
C4 fan
seal all ducts
seal evap box
insulate evap box

And a HUGE dose of help from Jack Beverly (veet 66)

Load reduction:
seal all holes in firewall and floor
Insulate floor and firewall
Window film
install hardtop
