Yeah, it's absolutely necessary here. I grew up in southwest NY where most 80's/early 90's cars we bought as teens didn't have air either. My parents house doesn't even have A/C. Down here in SC its a different story, we normally have a few weeks with mid to high 90's. When it's not that hot, there's at least 3 or 4 months in the high 80's to mid 90's (mostly low 90's).

The air went out in my mustang and my wife refused to ride in it again until I fixed it. It would have cost almost as much to repair the factory system, so I put an all new VA kit in it.

My C10 has had VA since 2006. Still ice cold.
