Are there any Air Conditioner Improvement Mods?

Works OK except in the Hot Sun.

Not very well at Idle.

My Dad's 94 Roadmaster seems to be cooler and quicker.

Was wondering if there were any tricks to improve AC performance?

R 12 can get 8 degrees COLDER

My 91 caprice factory service book about 800 pages has a chart showing at certain outside temp. and relative humidity R 12 is 8 degrees colder than R 134. Why not convert back IF one can make it cost effective ?
