My 1983 Cimarron has only a 2.0 liter engine and I notice that when climbing a long grade in fifth with the A/C on the car gets warmer. I thought their was something wrong with the car until I consulted the shop manual which explained the A/C cutout. This provides all available power in passing situations.
