Dash A/C is the ultimate luxury.  Here are a few things I did to delay that temptation:

- fresh air flap inside grill which shuts off air flow into cabin, sold as a kit
- a small quiet fan on the floor behind shifter pushing warm air into back of cabin, which pulls cool air down over you towards feet
- large windshield shades at the front of pop top ( they rest on the front edge of roof opening and go over the roof lift bar) to insulate and smooth airflow

You could get fancier with quiet 3’’ 12v bilge fans for better airflow management.
