Need more air! Oklahoma summer is taking it's toll

The R12 in my system still works, and my blower motor still works, however, I barely get a small breeze out of the side vents, and the two center vents are the only ones really blowing, not very good, considering the temperature is going to start reaching the 110+ area in a few weeks.

I've gone over the idea of finding a bigger blower motor from a Toyota Sequoia and rigging that mad dog up, also thinking of yanking the dash out and getting some better conduit for the side vents.

I sold my 350z yesterday (Payments + insurance / 35 hours a week at work = no bueno), so there goes a good source of air conditioning.

Ideas? I used Great Stuff on the connection points when I was putting the Air system behind the dash back together, so it wouldn't leak as much

One thing you can do is make sure that vent selector is properly adjusted. Check your fsm, haynes, or chilton and there is adjustments for those. They go out after many years. Also I'm not sure if the vents on these have foam in them but sometimes on other vehicles the foam can clog the vents.

Also, replace the foam weather stripping!

You can also upgrade the blower motor to some year of Honda.
