AC Condensor

What is the AC condensor type in a 1997 GTP? Is it parrallel, serpentine or round-tube?

I have a failed AC compressor, and just about to replace it with a new one (along with o-tube and accumulator etc...).

I think the factory condensor is the parralel type. I've read that parrallel type condensors are NOT capable of being flushed.
Everything I hear says it's absolutely imperative to flush the AC lines, evaporator, and condensor.

If all the above logic is true, then all failed compressors automatically require a new condensor?

Also, how many ounces of PAG oil do I need for the 3.8 vin 1?

What are the optimal 1997 GTP gage pressures for hi low side (engine off, & engine on-ac at max)
The average for most ac systems is 125 (engine off) & 25 psi low 250 psi high (engine on/ac max).

Thank you!
