After converting to R134 I am disappointed in the performance of the AC system. Has anyone converted to a parallel flow condenser? If so, did it improve the cooling?

what are your pressures and temps like?

70 L camino, grampa engine, g-force 5 spd, road rage suspension. Pray first before all else fails.

A parallel fow condenser will make all the difference in the world, but the POA must be adjusted as well. For a Chevelle, there are a couple of sources for direct replacement condensers, or you can fab one up with a universal piece. I have an exact replacemt on my '70 Elky, 38 at the center vents. I made my opwn for my '68 Caprice, hi 30'son that one as well.
