From what I have read, when the condenser is clogged, your A/C just won't cool well.
That seems like an easy indicator, except that I have read that if you put too much stress on the A/C, it could blow the seals.
I live in Texas. A/C is mandatory for life.

1) air flow to the coil would be a requirement. Walter Korff, of Lockheed Aircraft Corporation provided inlet and ducting geometry parameters for us in 1963. It's in my photo-albums somewhere.
2) a non-aspirated, heat-conductive 'panel', in which the 'coil' is thermally-bonded to the inside, as part of the belly,could serve the same function, with zero drag penalty ( ISUZU 'Glider' technology ).
