If going air-cooled, a 964 or 993 would be the preferable daily driver due to the improved HVAC, power steering, ABS, and power. Even then, doing an HVAC upgrade with Griffiths parts (condenser and evaporator) or OE/OEM would be advisable along with new front blowers. Servos do fail (mainly defrost and left/right mixing chambers) and can get expensive in a hurry. Same goes for the front blowers (OE is $950, aftermarket Chinese ~$180).

That said, my 964 converted to R134a is doing a decent job of keeping me comfortable at present. No, not nearly as much as my 986, but it's tolerable. If the blowers were stronger and the evap/condenser/compressor all new, I'm sure it would do even better than it is now.
