The Sandyavandanam book published by Giri Trading Company mentions that the Gayatri Japa in the evening Sandyavandanam is chanted facing west before sun set and facing east after sunset. Is it right? If so, whether the Varuna Prarthana mantra (इमं मे वरुण ....) and and other subsequent mantras including the sooryanarayana mantra (नमः सवित्रे...) are also should be chanted facing east after sunset?

I think "after sunset" simply means the the next day sandhyavandhanam. The "before sunset" means just before the end of the day. Ideally, sandhya vandhanam should be performed before the sunset and not after subset of a given day.
