134a conversion update

[flaatr@yahoo.com (Euroroc II)]

Your running 120 degrees with an oil cooler? I'm assuming you installed a 
real oil cooler and are not talking about the stock oil warmer. How big is 
the cooler and where do you have it mounted? Did you replace the radiator 
fan switch to a lower temp one? Does the fan come on high after the A/C is 
on for a while?
