Jim,

Agreed!

The problem with the GMC AC is the pressure drop through the whole system which is caused by the number of turns the air flow has to make. IIRC from my Hamilton Standard field rep days each 90° turn is like adding 5 - 7 feet of ducting. I can't remember how many turns it makes. This subject has been addressed here before as I vaguely remember stating this earlier.

We need to determin feet per min. velocity through the Coil, as we know
anything over 500 ft/min face volocity can cause the condensate to blow
into the ducts and water droplets will be a problem. Having a 3-4 speed can
help avoid that to some degree.
If there is a way to find the data of our origional blower , it might guide
one to avoid problems.
We can take data off all the outlets and try to get approximate cfm it
produces at MAX.
Average Vel times the area of each and add them up. We have the
instruments, but now for me to do it.
