In a message dated 99-05-14, you write:

I can get a FAINT cool breeze to come out of the vents, but it doesn't seem
strong enough. Perhaps if someone can help me understand the following, I
can confirm whether or not I have a problem.

As a baseline: my 88 505S Turbo with new A/C compressor and a fresh charge of
R12 moves a MASSIVE amount of air, even with the fan in the off position
(slider at bottom). If the dash vents are all opened and pointed at me I
have to set the temperature slider at roughly 75-80 degrees F to keep from
getting goose bumps. The defrost and floor vents are far less effective.
Nonetheless, the ventilation/HVAC must counted one of the most successful
features of the 86-and-later 505.
