Sometimes I think our limited air flow is more a function of the design of the system in our A-bodies. I've got several big '65 Pontiac's and with loose screws, noisy fan motor, and just general disrepair - they push a lot more air out of the vents, and they all have the same motor and squirrel cage as we have. I've also pulled motor/fan combinations off Cadillac's and Buick's that really put out the air, and then didn't get any improvement when transplanted to the A-body. My GTO A/C system works satisfactorily, but I am always looking for something that will provide killer air flow coming out of the vents. So I keep reading and hoping someone finds the holy grail.
I think you may be right about the A bodys vent setup. I put a stronger blower motor in my 69 GTO. On the bench it spun much faster but when installed it sounded like it was blowing a lot of air but no difference at the vents. I think the way the air is routed is very restrictive and just wont pass a whole lot more air.
