Good, hope everyone came out of this feeling satisfied.

The AT is quite durable, but the AC is a definite negative. Unless 
you really think you HAVE to have it, I'd get rid of it. It is NOT a 
factory item, it was added by the dealer (or later.) It adds an extra 
heat load on the engine and requires that you mangle the cooling 
air intake ductwork for the compressor belt. The holes here allow 
hot air to be sucked into the engine for cooling.
