That's 100% correct , you need air flow to condenser/radiator to make the ac compressor work fine.
Many reasons could lead to compressor fail , starting from small sensors till the compressor itself, we are talking about Rotary type compressor which can not hold such heat/pressure . So air flow is MUST.

ur right abt the flow thats why i advised the owner to get a stillen front fascia ! its 550 dollars in some site !! we were getting it but guess how much was shipping !! 1200 so we awaaaay so fast heheeheheh
we will just cut the black plastic in infront of the bumper and do a civic EK STYLE HOOD LIFT heheeheh to help get out heat from the engine bay
