I found the A/C in my '85 Westy to be acceptable but not exceptional.  On a
particularly hot (for Pa.) day, i.e. 90 degrees and humid, the interior
would nearly reach room-temperature in about 15 minutes or so.  Not
particularly good for short trips but very useful for long ones.  Remember,
there's a lot of interior space to cool.  The A/C on my present '89 Westy is
slightly better (thanks to a larger compressor and rear ducts that are moved
slightly forward).
