Non painted are a little thicker and may be just a little bit better constructed. But don;t take that as the painted are a poor condenser. Cost wise I would go with the painted version.

Yes, valve cores need to be removed.

Depends on your R12 service port size. These attach to the R12 port and has a R134a Service port to convert.

600grams of R134a.

Charge to factory specs. 45 psi is high for an expansion block system.

Responded to you email. If you have an further questions. Post up here or email me.

A high side pressure of 450psi. Is going to kill performance. Spray some water on the condenser and see if the pressures come down.

Things to look at, condenser fins, fans not working or an over charged system of oil or refrigerant.
