<< Robert Abatecola asks why his GTV-6 defroster seems to work best with the
 A/C on.  The answer is that air run through an A/C system has its humidity
 removed. Dry air removes condensation much more quickly than moist air.  The
 defroster on the GTV-6 is actually designed to let you run air through the
 A/C to knock out humidity and then run it through the heater core to warm it
 up.  Hot, dry air is better than cold, dry air.  Virtually all modern cars
 do this today, the GTV-6 was an early adapter in 1981. >>


A funny note: the factory manual for our "new" 91 spider suggest just this 
(both A/C and heater) for the most effective demisting.
