I believe the a/c was removed by a previous owner. I have the idea that I'm completely missing the idea here. But when I had my civic (which also had no a/c) during the winter, the inside of the car would NEVER heat up. Would that be because of some other reason? Because I always thought that the a/c would control heat settings as well. I live in canada too, edmonton of all places where winter sometimes hits -40 C. So I just wanted to get my teggy ready for winter so I don't freeze my ass off
