I appreciate the feedback. I am planning to look at sealing up the areas to ensure I get as much air being pulled across the condenser as possible.

Try spraying some water on the condenser with the system on and if your vent temp drops like a rock in a few moments then you have verified your system can produce cold air. The fix could be as easy as a 2 speed fan that may pull more air then your current one or it might mean your condenser is under sized even though it was a kit made for your application.We have have lines run beside the exhaust manifolds and condensers mounted too far in front of the radiator with no seal so the fan just pulls air around the condenser instead of through it.Lots little things to look at ,but enough them and you have a problem. Just my two cents and I’m aware that there’s some really smart A/C guys on this site.Hopefully these few suggestions help
