Press. Skymaster
I have 1975 P337G with Boots, Riley A.C. Riley inter coolers, spoilers etc. been flying this plane for 22 years. I found operating rich of peak has given me best performance and longer component life. I operate at 27 to 28 GPH. As for air cond. I suggest you check out an electric drive unit. There are several on the market. The alternators in the Skymaster are heavy duty and can carry the load. Also, if your plane is not equipped with spoilers and you intent to fly in the teens all the time, with spoilers you don't have to change engine setting when descending. Thus, don't have to be concerned with engine shock cooling. I almost always fly with engine settings of 2450 RPM and 31 inches.
Good luck and enjoy your new plane.
