Hi,

The speed of defogging (moisture on the inside) is what goes quicker with A/C. Melting frost on the outside is much faster without A/C as this puts more heat on the glass and melts the stuff on the outside. This is the only way to go in an ice storm!

Besides, you'll get much better FE without the A/C.
