Relocating AC condenser

It gets really hot where I live and AC on all the time is a must(it goes over 107 most of the times), the hottest my xj gets now is 220 after putting a Flowkooler water pump, 180 Thermostat and a 40/60 coolant mix however the AC temp is still not as good as I wanted, but during not so hot days the AC gets freezing cold so I came to the conclusion that my rad is making my condenser hotter than it is supposed to be so I am considering on relocating the condenser as I have a spare fan I think i can make it work however I do not know of anyone has done that. I have a 3 core aluminum radiator plus transmission cooler so it is very confined there.
I am thinking on putting the condenser on the roof(I have a good rack which can be used) and attach a fan and shroud to it to keep air flowing. My concern would be if the compressor could handle such a long distance to push the refrigerant through those lines all the way to the roof.

I know it sounds like a crazy idea but, I think it would be very interesting to make it work.
