Change to Rear Air Conditioner

Change to Rear Air Conditioner
I have the interior apart and am wondering how effective really the rear AC is. Should I get it working again or modify if it. Maybe if I remove it, the front will work better?
If I remove it I can remove the AC channeling and plexi interior Alpine window but I may have gaps in my interior.
Let me add that a powerful AC is really important for me.
Any thoughts?

The rear air uses the same compressor, you just have 8 ounces more R134a in the system. From RAVE:
With rear air conditioning = 1.15kg (40 fl/oz)
I don't have rear air in my D1, or Mercedes station wagon, I do have it in my minivan. Seems to help in the van, perhaps that temp can be kept more uniform without running the front full blast all the time.
If you remove it and try to keep the 40 ounces of gas, you'll have problems.
Refrigerant required to charge system:
Without rear air conditioning = 0.90kg (32 fl/oz)

Scraped all the old tint off. Gonna replace that with as dark as I can. Nice to know it helps. I also want a used pair of Weathertech Window guards so I can leave the window open an inch or two when it's parked.
Roof as previously mentioned is going to Aluminum color (unless I get cold feet before I buy the paint).
Seems I should leave the rear AC in as suggested.
