Hah! It's not bad, I've got the water injection spraying full bore in the cockpit! Yes, I'm too old and out of shape to not have a/c when it's 95% RH and 95°F out.
On my 96 1.8 swap to 91 chassis, it left the a/c compressor pulley very very close to the giant RB front swaybar. It's been at about 1/8" clearance for a couple years. After the 6sp install the pulley was touching the sway bar. I loosened everything up, pryed the motor/trans back and tightened it all back down. This gave the usual 1/8-3/16" clearance. While driving home from the last autox the a/c didn't work well and ceased to make cold air halfway home. On inspection, the pulley was into the sway bar and there was a black goo oozing from the clutch/pulley. So, I think I toasted the a/c clutch and who knows what else.
I'm thinking that R compounds plus brakes that work (adjustable prop valve on the rear) may make things shift. I need to fix the problem when I put the 'new' compressor in.
