Mods for a 1989 Pontiac Lemans

Hello, I've been reading a lot about the aero mods all of you do to your cars and they all seam great.

I have a 1989 lemans with the 2.0L engine so it give worse FE than the basic car. I would like to do some mods to my car since I drive 35 miles round trip to work, so I drive this car around 200 miles a week.
However I have a problem, I live in Phoenix, Arizona and we are getting into summer weather. We get triple digit weather from May through October and in July it can go up to 120F. Here you can cook an egg on the sidewalk, believe me I have done it just to prove it to people, and the a/c is going to be on 100% of the time.
Because of this, I don't think a grill block would be good for my car.

What do you guys think?

The car is rated at a combined 24 MPG but I just started to implement the P&G technique and was able to get 33 MPG last tank so I would like to see how high I can go and save money on the way.

Here are some pics of what my car looks like. Any tips will be considered.
