I havent done this on SVX, but on Alfa I changed receiver drier, expansion valve, cleaned the system with mineral oil and changed all seals to green seals. If you are serious about the coolness, you might want to consider chaging the compressor too, but for good performance it should be fine.

other than that nothin else i can think of.
