Dumb questions re Installing 1993 A/C system in a 1990 for colder A/C 200

I know nothing about air conditioning, so these are probably dumb questions:

1. How hard would it be to:

a. remove the entire A/C system (R134a clutch-controlled orifice tube) from a 1993 240?

b. Install it into a 1990 240?

2. With a 1990 240 A/C system in place, my understanding is that I could then also upgrade the CONDENSER with an aftermarket 14" x 24" Parallel Flow condenser (supposed to be 30% more efficient than OEM). Does that sound feasible?

3. Colder A/C is my objective, of course. 1993 240 A/C I believe has tubing and fittings that would be compatible with aftermarket PF condenser, such as http://www.jegs.com/i/Be+Cool+Radiators/134/76002/10002/-1/753083|11063

...is that correct?

Naturally I would get installation help from someone who understands customized A/C work.

Are these just crazy, not-worth-the-trouble, whacky-expensive ideas? Or do they merit pursuing?
