On to blend doors?
Just for your info/comparison I measured the condenser temp with an infra red gun near the top center ( there is a hole near the hood latch in the cars frame) with the A/C running full cold, ambient temp in the upper 80 my condenser was about 115F. And the duovalves will get hot as the car warms up even when the heat is turned off.
