It should stop the hot air coming through the dash but will it help the ac?

You could do it; I doubt it would hurt anything, but you would still be mixing the outside air. However hot/cold it might be.

Thanks to everyone for their comments and pictures.  |
Glad to see that you got it fixed, sort off...

Well, taking the dash apart is your only recourse. I plan on finishing this DIY by mid September, including the pics as well, if you can wait that long. I have two problems to fix; the blend door foam and and snap bushings.
