    NO!(not to sound harsh)  First off, you live in CA.  Being a native
CA and then going to Louisiana after 19 years, I now realize that
Californians have no need for air conditioning!  I mean it might get
"hot"(90 with no humidity is NOT hot) 2-3 weeks a year.  Plus it is not
like the wasser boxer has horsepower to throw out the window!  You will
find yourself not using it because it gobs so much power.  When I was
considering purchasing an un A/Ced van I looked into the conversion.(In
Louisiana it gets 95 with 100% humidity, where living without A/C is
damn near impossible)  ICE A/C gave me a quote of $2k plus tax on the
parts.  So, I say live with the mild weather of SF and roll down the
window when it gets above room temperature.  That or sell what you have
and buy one with A/C.
    Just my $0.03

have fun,
