I do a lot of city driving which means sitting at traffic lights for extended periods of time. The fans keep the AC running cool while I'm stopped.

I had a leak at the drier when I put mine back together as well. It was not leaking before I replaced the drier. I suspect the drier sealing surface is not flat. I used a high side compressor gasket from a seal kit. It's metal but with an integrated rubber (or what ever it is) sealing ring. It fit and works well. I also installed two 8" electric Zirgo BLU fans from Summit on the outside of the condenser wired to be pushers with a relay tied to the compressor clutch coil. You have to clearance the grille inserts a little. I used a soldering gun with a flat blade tip to cut the inserts from the back side.
