Lost AC after hard pull on highway
Was driving on the highway with ac on, did a hard pull And the ac stopped blowing cold air.
Now I know that’s normal, but it never came back, at all.
Have turned off the motor and let it sit for awhile. Turned car back on, turned ac on, still blows hot ambient air. Fans are working. Clutch does comes on, ac light comes and stays on.
I turned it all the way to 90 to see if it it would blow hot, and it did. Switched it to floor to see if blend doors work, they do.
Im at a loss on this one. Everything seems to be working, just not getting cold air.

Silly question but.....did you check your AC Belt did not snap? Unsure if the belt works for both the AC and the Heat.
But sometimes like my GMC Yukon, the AC switch gets weird.
Try and cycle the Vette to run and off a few days, but keep the AC on Max (60 degrees)? It may be acting like my GMC Yukon in that it is somehow stuck in a position not blowing AC. Sometimes, it takes me 2 or three days to get it back to the AC working again.

Thanks for the suggestion.
