You could make do possible with the A/C vent -- aim it
towards the windows when needed.  I personally don't find
much comes out of the window vents.

Many GL's don't have this, either.  I had an aftermarket one
put on after I bought my used 93 EV GL.  I had hoped the
dealer could find a leftover cruise kit from when the EV's
were being imported, but after they inquired, I was told the
only CC's came from the factory.

I went down to a local aftermarket installer.  Their
installer had enough experience to fit the CC from
components, rather than from specific model kits.
