The posts I saw on the forum are outdated so I wanted recommendations on replacing my condenser. This is the one I was going to purchase:
www.oldairproducts.com

11-1618 - Condenser | Superkool Parallel Flow, 16 x 18 x 1

Order a SuperKool Parallel Flow aluminum AC condenser, 16" x 18" x 1". Available in many sizes to fit different applications.

Want to keep the cost as low as I can
 
Others available and some are cheaper. I used a 16x20 but 14x18 works too. Buy some sheet metal straps from Ace in the hardware or building aisle to mount.

There was some discussion in the DYI thread about too big a condenser freezing the lines with the OE dash unit.

The 14 x 18 was the recommended choice no? I have to start gathering parts for this.
 
Have you checked this thread?
