A/C condenser Blockage?

How easy is the air flow supposed to be when blowing compressed air through the condenser? All other components flushed fine, but the condenser seems to be a little constricted, is this normal?

Just replaced with a new compressor, orifice, accumulator, fan clutch and hoses (old orifice looked fine btw). Converted to 134A, 2 years ago, worked fine till the front seal on the compressor went.

Now works fine at highway speed, but starts to blow warm at idle, and the high side pressure is above spec at idle.

Im not sure, but proccess of elimination says that the condenser would be the problem...

I dont know if they can be flushed out or what. Might be worth looking into...

They'll have a little constriction (oil in the condenser) but you should be able to blow through it. Possible partial clog.
