I have a 96, just wondering how hard the air cond fan should blow when its on max ac? when I put my other cars on max, its a pretty high flow fan but my corvette seems like its running on 3 out of 10 in comparison. It cools down pretty good but just seems like the blower could be a bit more powerful. Is this standard, is it just a week blower/fan. Just wondering if I could do anything to crank it up a bit

maybe I'm missing something here but not quite sure what this has to do with the ac.

I have the same issue with my '95. I assumed a plug cabin air filter, but the car doesn't have one. I pulled the blower and vacuumed out the box and the inlet to the evaporator, but that didn't help. I wonder if someone makes a more powerful blower? If not, I guess I will have to live with running the fan on max all the time.

It maybe time for a blower fan replacement. When mine was going out you could bang the fan surround with a rubber hammer to change the pitch. They just wear out. Fairly cheap. Just pull the housing clean up with a vaccum while you are in there. Relax the inner fender on the passenger side. Pull the motor and swap the squirrel cage and reinstall.

Disconnect the Blower Motor Harness. Jumper to Battery. Did the output change?
