AC Update: ;(

Remembering that the way a AC system works isn't as much by adding cold air to the system as much as pulling HOT air OUT of the system. (condensor)
The problem is, all that hot air sits on the condensor. If you start to blow air OVER the condensor (that's why stepping on the gas at a light works... not only because you're increasing the rpms of the compressor but you're blowing air over the condensor and removing heat from the fan) you'll cure your problem.

I took a brief look and noticed that the H2 doesn't have an ideal place to mount another fan (electric) I still say that putting a fan to cool the condensor at a light will help.

Though my AC is working pretty well, I'm still going to try playing with this idea.

Mine will fail again pretty soon. When my compressor imploded or whatever it did, it sent pieces into the system. Most got trapped in the Expansion tube, I was told. But some could have made it to the Drier. They couldn't get a drier in their hands soon enough so I don't have a warranty on the new parts.

On the 700 or so mile drive back home yesterday it seemed the A/C vacillated between good cooling and OK cooling.

Air conitioning systems are meant to work 20-40% of the vehicles normal life. It's not that way when you live in the southern US. Thus you will always have some AC issues. It's a quality issue found in all American vehicles.
