I had a similar car, the 1990 Ford Escort Pony. It had a hamster for an engine, but it was fine because the body was a shoebox.

Not important, but in case you didn’t know – In that usage the word is ‘eke’. ‘Eek!’ is the sound you make when someone jumps out from a closet wearing a spider mask.

My car does this automatically. If you floor it, the vents start blowing hot air.
It does make me wonder how much it really helps.

Like the vents start blowing hot air or the ac shuts off temporarily? If the former, then your ac probably just can’t keep up with the extra heat in the engine

Several cars disable the AC compressor when they detect that you’re flooring it. This removes the mechanical load from the engine, releasing a bit more power to the wheels for as long as you’re balls to the wall.

I do that going up long, steep grades when the truck is fully loaded
