Default SF Bay Area shop for A/C Upgrade

Greetings! I bought an '86 Targa and need to upgrade the Air Conditioning system for maximum possible performance. What is the best shop in the San Francisco Bay Area to do such an upgrade?

Also, looking for experienced opinions on the best system to go with... Griffiths, Retro Air, Classic Retrofit (Electric Air), others?

Thanks!

I suggest you order this electric AC kit to have installed: https://www.classicretrofit.com/prod...c-911-full-kit

I installed the full Griffith's (replaced both factory condensers with new and added Griff's two left rear wheel well condensers with fans as well as the hurricane fan blower motor) in 2008 in my 88 911 Cab. Works perfectly. $5k installed at dealer who had done Griff's system in the past. Low 70s cabin temp in 95+ degree/high humidity Florida and Alabama summers. Best money I've spent on my 911. Daily driver for more than 8 years. Griff's service and installation instructions are unparalleled as you will see with searches.

Electric system posted above is now available as well so you have options. Good luck.
