I did replace the 6" fan blades in both top vents of the A/S.
Next is to add one or two slower speeds. Pahaska (John) used 2 - 15 ohm resistors to reduce the voltage down slightly for a slower speed.
My question based on Internet search was to maybe use silicon diodes to reduce the voltage down perhaps more efficiently.

That was 10 ohm resistors that I used, rather than 15 ohm. They come in packs of two at Radio Shack. Radio Shack only had 10 ohm ceramics if I remember correctly.
Not sure what you would do with diodes. A silicon diode has a small forward drop, but you would have to series a whole string of them to get an appreciable slowing of the fan.
