So requoting my previous post having completed this job, regarding the A/C cooling. (remembering I have brand new AC Compressor, gas refilled & OK'd for any leaks)Finished finally, half a day job to finish it off.

Much, much better. The A/C compressor actually started cycling correcting @ idle. Due more I think to that new fan/shroud.
Had to custom make my own relay, cos the spare one I had wasn't for a thermo fan. Took the longest.
I've only just repaird the cluthc-driven fan and shroud, the A/C cycling is a new thing to me. Found it weird seemed to be idling down correctly and back up. Can't remember it doing that before ? Bah the condenser fans will be for stand-still cooling (stop lights, parked up) its a sauna in there on 40 celcius days.
Although it seemed to work pretty well driving to the shop without the thermo's not connected and the new fan/shroud. It still was pretty poor. Will give a review once I get back from Quobba station, post some pics of that later. 600km, headland of WA home of pelagics galore. Should be fun.
So travelled about 1000km's for holiday @ highway speeds 110kms/hr
I see improved cooling @ highway speeds, having to actually turn down the A/C knob sometimes 2-3 clicks back. It gets pretty cold there.
I'm hypothesizing that even w/out the thermo fans- this would be quite cold just with the new Fan shroud & clutchdriven/engine fan blades.
After stopping the car, once that engine bay is @ its highest temperature (really hot), i'm noticing that it goes back to its old self, heat goes up in the car to uncomfortable levels. Have asked a couple mechanics last night & they suggested that the dryer can sometimes get air caught in it. So off to the auto fridge mechanic now for the next direction how to fix
