I drove my Volvo P1800 around quite a bit last summer. I even did a 180 mile trip in July to the beach. WING WINDOWS. My god, without wing windows, it would have been so much worse. I bet without much trouble you could fab a air diverted by a side mirror to force air onto you.

Also, if you do have AC and don't want to run it at cost. Rolling down a big hill off the gas, the car will enter deceleration fuel cut off and run the A/C at no cost to anything except momentum, which you may not want if you're approaching a red light or stop sign.
