Default Another a/c question

I'm in the process of totally redoing my a/c and want to know if anyone has lined their evaporator box with refletix and does it seem to work? So far I have installed a parallel condenser from Vintage Air with an electric fan in front of it. I have also installed a larger fan blower and cage from a C4 era and I have a Sanden compressor. I'm also thinking about covering all metal lines with foam, like plummers use for insulation. Any other suggestions would be appreciated. By the way, it has been 100 degrees or more in NW Florida for the past week with very little rain. I guess late a/c is better than never.

Thanks,
Bill

Thanks Terry82, I will check into the lizard skin and I have done the hot water valve. While everything is apart, I figure its best to do anything I can to help the a/c along.
