You bought it knowing that it didn't have AC,
and now your complaining because it doesn't have AC.
So, why did you buy it if you wanted a car with AC?

You could get all the AC parts from a car in a junk yard and install it yourself.
Good luck doing that.

85 degrees and you were dieing from the heat? Wow, its amazing how pampered everyone is.

85 isn't that hot, just roll the windows down, or would that mess up your pretty hair?. From the age of 16 till 23 I lived in florida and never had a car with AC. You will either have to suck it up and buy all the stuff to reinstall the ac, or stop being such a baby and just live with it.

Funny. . . . Either fix it all, or STFU. . . .

Yes, it sucks but that's just the way it is. . .

To fully replace a AC system would run you a min of 500 Bucks. . . . I lived without AC for about 5 years, and I live in AZ. . . . Then I stepped up to air conditioned vehicles only, and I will not turn back. . . . . Well, unless I had a strip only car.

Same here, I only turn mine on 1 every month just to keep the AC from seizing up/going bad on me (if that is even possible). I would take it out but I'm sure that will be a good selling point when I get rid of it one day in the not so near future.
I also ripped the AC out of my old 1990 RS and never missed it.

only thing to do is roll your windows down and get yourself one of those sweet fans that you plug into your cig lighter. i live in south GA and the only time i use a/c is when it's raining or i have a sexy woman riding with me. and it rains more often than the later haha. but i just like riding with the windows down. gets you that one arm tan. the only reason i don't take it out is because it's not a strip car and it kind of takes away from the "street car" thing i guess. and if i ever sell it, having a/c helps down here.
