Default Trick to getting R134 COLD?

One of my restoration goals was to have an A/C system that was frigid on my "79.
I have replaced the Evaporator already with a new one and I plan on replacing the Compressor (R4) and possibly the Condenser.
I have seen some discussion about going to the Parallel Flow Condensers but I haven't seen a post whereby there is one that is a direct fit into the vettes. Anyone have a direct fit replacement for this?
Lastly, I've read that the Variable Orifices will help with idle cooling as well.
What kind of R134 cabin temps can one expect to have in these setups?
