NEEDED, but I can live with out it for those dollars.

First of all, note the smiley.  :-)

Second of all, it was useless without a working A/C system.  I've run the
A/C
repair gauntlet before and I wasn't willing to spend $1500 up again to make
it
work.  I don't live in a hot climate, so it was not a big deal to get rid of
the A/C.  I don't care about resale value, because we're never going to sell
the van.  YMMV.
