My 88 GL has the AC controls in the overhead above the windshield.

However, I don't know of any reason not to remove the tunnel and run the
AC blower from the back and simply let it blow forward.

Problem!! The cable from the rear AC unit up  to the AC controls up
front is INSIDE the tunnel. Therefore that AC cable will have to be
re-routed if the tunnel is removed.
