I'm looking for some brainstorming here (and I think this is the right
place!:)

I have an '85 westy with the A/C blower in the back (like most others), and
while the weather up here in the Seattle area doesn't get too hot for too
long, travels in the southwest have made me wonder about ducting some of
that nice cool air up to the front. My thoughts are to use the duct over
the sliding door: block off the vents in the roof that come from the fresh
air inlet, and use the added space to pipe air from the ac unit to behind
the passengers head, put a vent opening there. (If you look behind the two
vents over the sliding door, you'll see some space between the actual roof
vent outlets and the added metal for the curtain track) I have also looked
at the drivers side, maybe doing something similar there, but have not come
up with any really good ideas yet. Any thoughts?

The a/c seems to be up to snuff, gets the rear of the van cool, but even
with the vents aimed straight at the space between front seats, it just
doesn't beat the heat of sun thru the windshield. I've even tried to think
of somehow modifying the front section of the roof ac from a non-westy van,
but again, no brilliant ideas. Whadda y'all think?
