On the way home tonight, set the cruise in the 'ol '87.

LOL!
Oh, it needs work. I just got a new tensioner pulley in today. It screams every time the car gets over about 4K rpm. Bearing going out.
Happy now??

The A/C is the only thing in my 93 LX that doesn't work and I think it just needs a recharge. I was pleasantly surprised that things like cruise control, remote hatch release, lumbar support, rear defrost and power windows/locks/mirrors still work after 22 years. In comparison, my previously assigned work vehicle (2007 Impala with less miles than my Fox), lost the rear defrost back in 2012 and needed heater-core line replacement shortly after that.
I do need to mention that my driver's side door lock needs to be replaced, so I believe my car qualifies as "needing work' and should be allowed to stay on the forum 88 orangepeel notch

As for your a/c it's pre 94(I don't know if you know this or not I don't want to insult you're intelligence) so it would still have r12 refrigerant (freon) unless it has been converted if you put r134a in it it will gum up due to the compressor oil. If you can find recycled r12 it will cost big bucks last I knew it was $48/oz. That was 3 years ago. So you probably need to do a conversion to r134a if you have not already done so.
On a side note, my 3.73 gear kit arrived last night. Looking forward to gettting that installed.

One easy way to tell if it still has r12 look at the sizes of the hoses if they are around 5/8" hoses is r12 and if you do the conversion change your hoses as well don't let anybody fool you and say it doesn't matter the old hoses are more pourious and the r134a will seep out over time and every year you will need to recharge it and that takes money away from more go fast stuff
