Not only should the system blow into the condenser from the outside, the 
rear luggage tub is a vital part of the assembly in directing the airflow down 
towards the pavement so it doesn't go into a continuously heating loop. But 
in even the best running system, expect the AC 'coolness' output to 
decrease with speed until around 120 mph, there will be none. Suggest cracking a 
side window at these speeds. This is also the point at which the stock system 
is in danger of overpressurizing and blowing a hose. Yet another possible 
couple of upgrade for your list: an over-pressure switch plumbed into the AC 
lines. Its also quite possible to move the rear condenser to in front of the 
radiator without affecting engine cooling. Quite a few Pantera run this 
system. Good luck- J DeRyke
