It's a little more complex than that.
Maybe this is the best way to explain what's going on:
The amount of energy required to convert one pound of R134a from liquid to

It's due to the thermodynamic properties of both refrigerants. Regardless of
part numbers, R12 and R134a systems are designed to run on R12 and R134a,

efficient at cooling due to the differences in thermodynamic properties.

Kaleb,
R134a has about 20% less thermal mass than R12 and R134a moves 20% less
heat. All of the auto manufacturers made up the difference by upsizing the
units.
R12 sized evaporators are about 20% too small for R134a. The factory R134c
systems have evaporators that are sized correctly for R134a.
would be curious if soembody has seen them side by side.

Congratulations on the eminent boy-child, Chris. I'd love to do the Q but
we as a license class have been admonished to not miss any class time. The
first two weeks were brutal (thermodynamics and fluids) this week we started
nuclear physics and reactor theorymuch better. My turd herdin' brain
I have no idea. The epc just lists the part number. Usually when its
changed it will say xxx part number, replaced by xxx part number etc. This
doesnt say that but who knows.

really, I hadnt thought of that actually. In the past, I have used the kit
and just removed the R12 (well, there was usually nothign in the system) and
recharged with the 134 in the conversion kit. Never had a problem and it
usually worked pretty good, but not as good as freeze you out factory

Any chance that the cond/evap part numbers are the same
because the R12 parts were superseded along the way?

Too much oil? (As in the old R12 oil is not fully removed.)
Just a guess.

They should fit any 126, if you have the right bolts. they are off
of an 87 SDL and a 420SEL, but I don't know what year. I also have a
mint condition Bundt from the 85 280SEL and 2 other useable Bundts
from it for 126.

OK, so my 91 300D has R12 from the factory, my 92 300D has 134 from the
factory. The R12 blow ice cold. The r134 stock system also blow ice
cold. The 134 stock system in my 94 E420 also blows ice cold. Got me
to thinking, how did the factory get 134 to blow ice cold, but if you
convert r12

Took it apart to make the job easier, eh? Don't you hate
it when that happens? I sure do!
