I want to replace all my A/C components with the Texas summer coming up. Everything is readily available to replace except the condenser... I haven't really seen anyone that was a direct fit replacement for our cars.
Any recommendations?

The only one I've found so far in stock is from Original Air:
https://www.originalair.com/86-91-ca...-parallel-flow
It's also available in their upgrade kit. I'd be curious to know about alternatives but I've got a feeling they're all going to be in the $300-$350 range.

The Spectra?? brand is supposed to be a good one. Its under $100 but seems its hard to come by sometimes
I've installed the Spectra in my 92 in 2015... fitted without issues after I swapped the hard line to an 88-91 line. Only 92 models had a different and bigger fitting on this part. But there are no replacement parts for 92 models.
Or, if you are replacing everything anyway, you could go with a whole new upgraded system designed for the Camaros with less HP draw, can spin up to 6,000 RPM's and is 134a.

I just put this in my 91 and it fit perfect. https://www.partsgeek.com/ss/?i=1&ssq=CND32310
So in taking apart the old fittings to the Accumulator, I found the O-Rings were smashed and cut because they weren't the correct size. Anyone know where to get the proper O-rings for the whole system? Whenever I try and pick O-Rings from a master kit they are always a bit off and end up not sealing correctly.
I bought just the two orings I needed at the dealer. $3. Auto parts has a box full, just match them up. Or
