Danny,

Last summer, someone told me to go to the hardware store, buy a roll of
foil-backed duct insulation, take the plastic cover off the a/c parts
next to the window, cut enough of the duct insulation to cover the a/c
parts, cover the a/c parts with the insulation (foil side up), replace
the cover and experience a much colder 164 a/c.  I did and I did.

You'll loose the ability to get much in the way of fresh air and the
cabin will smell of insulation for about 10 to 15 miles.  But, the a/c
is much colder.

Good Luck,
