Ditching the A/C compressor in 100-105 degree heat and 100% humidity??

I was thinking of getting rid of my AC compressor altogether from my 92 Protege since it is broken, but it is TOOOOOO hot in the DC summers.

Sorry, but cracking the windows 1 inch all the way around just won't cut it.

I can't stand the heat!

I was thinking of running some tubes into the interior to get some air into the interior, but not sure if it is doable and practical.

FYI - Turning the HVAC control to fan is nowhere near acceptable either.

I have had a thermometer in the AC vent during the summer and it has read 180-185 degrees.

Leaving the windows open doesn't cool things down to a comfortable level either.

I am forced to drive with my windows down all the way on the highway and i am confident that it is sucking more gas.

I am thinking about just getting a junkyard compressor in there and recharging the ac myself, but I don't want to go through the money on this beater.

Any thoughts?

By the way, I am forced to wear business casual to work. I could go to work with a tee shirt and shorts then change, but it is still too hot here!

Thanks
