I have no other choice that to leave it already installed, Don;t send the part to make it fit correctly since it' smaller and less efficient, its is not QEM since the original is serpentine and the facsimile is flute design and does not work as the original.It works but less efficient

I bought this locally, not through Amazon, and if there are any better options, I can't find them. Vista-Pro, Spectra, Murray, Visteon, etc. all have the exact same picture and specifications. This is a two-pass parallel-flow condenser. The original from GM is a multi-pass serpentine condenser. I bought it for my '91 Caprice, so I assume it's supposed to fit '91-'93 GM B-bodies.First off, it doesn't really fit. It's about 1/4" narrower than the original condenser, so it doesn't line up with the mounting cushions, and it's about half as thick as the original condenser, so it flops around in the one set of cushions you can put it in. The inlet and outlet connections are shorter than the originals and at the wrong angles. The line from the compressor is a hose, so it's not really a problem, but I wasted a lot of time reshaping the liquid line to the evaporator so it would fit.Secondly, it doesn't work at idle. I never had any problems with the original condenser and an R134a conversion, but when I installed this thing, it can't keep the high side pressure in check at low engine speeds. My car doesn't have a high side pressure switch, so it goes sailing right past 400psi at idle. It looks like I'm going to need to add an auxiliary electric fan or discharge the system and add a high side cut-out switch to keep the system from exploding at idle.In short, it works fine driving on the highway, but it fits very poorly, and you can't use the A/C while idling unless you spend another $150+ to keep the high side pressure in check.And it's made in China...
