better as opposed to wanting extra thickness in a radiator? >>

In this case, yes. What is needed in a radiator or AC condenser for extra
cooling is more tubes or bigger tubes for more heat transfer. The extra core
thickness in a stock condenser seems to be all in the finning. The cabin
volume of
a mini-pickup is approx. the same as in the Pantera, and I've ridden in
those
little trucks which have COLD A/C, so it seemed reasonable. When our system
worked, it blew cold air at low speeds with the thin core. Hope this
clarifies-
