I need a condenser for my '92. At first, I decided to cheap out and get a Valeo from ECS. Alas, they sent me the R134a version packaged in a box with the R12 P/N on the label. When I call, they decide that the R12 version is NLA. OK, I'll bite the bullet and drop $500 on the dealer part from Miramar... Not long after placing that order, I get an email... NLA/Discontinued. [Sigh] 

My '93 parts car has a complete R134a system in decent shape. Unfortunately, I think I'll have to swap out EVERYTHING to make it work (anybody know for sure?). That would be fine, except I'm guessing the evaporator is a major pain to R&R. I'm sure I could track down an aftermarket condenser eventually, but the Valeo quality didn't impress me, and the Chinese options are likely worse. Anyone have a recommendation?
