You can buy a valve (itp has them) that goes in-line with your heater hose and config it so that when you go to max AC the heater core no longer receives hot coolant. This worked for me.

Not sure why you need Ac right now but glad to hear that you do !
alright im glad im not the only one thinking who in the world is diagnosing a/c problems in the middle of november! i dont really have anything to add just being a little ornery....

I lived in Florida for the first 40 years of my life and can tell you, there were years that you could use your a/c even in December.

Not only that, but the compressor is used for defrost, too. Kind of a handy thing, even in November.
