You know, there is one other wild and wacko idea and I don't know if it is feasible at all. My med's probably haven't kicked in yet so here it is & all feel free to laugh heartily. Actually, I think there was a discussion along these lines 2 or 3 years ago with various methods to use a heater blower in an older model. As I recall, that involved mounting it inside the heater box which eliminated the heater.

Wonder if it would be possible to make a couple of neat looking adapters out of metal or fiberglass and place them over the car right air vent and on the evaporator case where the blower would normally be. Connect the two with a couple of decent size flex ducts--say 3 or 4 inches each. Have the hoses exit the top or side of vent adapter laying over the cardboard heater plenum and enter the rear of evaporator to keep them high and out of sight. Could then use the fresh air mode and heater motor to do the work. I think the air flow might be too little to do much good but anyway, there was today's first trip into comedyland for your amusement..
