I hear it's warm in Puerto Rico. If it was my car, I'd keep the A/C, but perhaps you're better acclimatized than I am.
You are right. I just need basic hand tools. I'm just very OCD about having tools in every one of my cars. I will use your list as a guide.

Warm does not even start to describe it. It is HOT. Today was a bit over 90, with a lot of wind. I will remove the A/C because it is broken and I don't want to spend any money fixing it.
I'm used to driving around with the windows down, though.
