Yes, my sediments exactly.  I have removed the whole duct from our '91 GL
tintop.  It caused too many mild concussions while it was there and when it
started to fall down I finished the job.  I don't need 40F air blowing
right in my face to know the AC is working.  The stream from the rear draws
in the warmer air from the sides and is tempered and evened out by the time
it reaches the front.  Much more comfortable IMHO.  No accounting for
taste.  :-)
