I am kind of on the fence about the AC, right now its working fine, but it is 13yrs old since the last major overhaul. In Florida its all about the AC since its used pretty much year round. With that in mind I am will to spend for the best possible system.

I have been doing some research and it seems the parallel flow condenser and evaporators are the most efficient and best for use with 134a. I don't know if they would make a R-12 work any "better"

So when the day comes to rebuild (say a comp breakbreak down) I was thinking of going with the P flow parts, maybe do some research on optimal orifice tube size (or thermal controlled expansion valve) for the extreme heat of florida, and use a oil compatible for both 12 and 134 (PAO?) and try R-12, and if the supply of R-12 ever dries up completely I could just change to 134a and not sweat the componets or oil.
