Is the evaporator noticeably smaller than the stock Harrison unit?

Plenty of room for a huge condenser. I read somewhere the stock CK truck condenser was around 1/3 larger than it really needed to be.
here lies the problem. Many are out there bad mouthing VA for use in crews, but really the performance of the AC system heavily relies on the installation quality and component selection. The condenser VA supplies is basically a stock replacement c10 unit. So it is rather large.

my Dad was a GM certified tech for many years back in the 80s I believe. He seems to remember the stock square body ac being rated around 5 tons. Not sure if anyone can confirm this?

The folks on facebook were claiming to not get vent temps below 50F. I find this hard to believe or installation/charging error. My brothers truck blows in the 30s.
