Question R107 Climate Control - What is the difference between heating and cooling

Ok, maybe I am missing something here. In the past few months I have tried to figure out a way to bypass my servo (which died a while back) because I don't want to the invest the $$ for a new one. I have read a lot of posts about the servo and amp problems, and I have tried to do some research and understand how the climate control systems works - from what I've gathered thus far, the gist of what people have recommended and tried to do is basically slow down or stop the flow of hot water into the heater core.

What I don't understand is kind of the opposite of that. I am in Texas and I would like some way to get cool or cold air out of my A/C. But what I haven't been able to figure out is how cool air is generated from the system. Where in the process does it go through the compressor, and is there a way to do this without the servo?

Also, if I remove the servo and amp, what functionality does the rest of the climate control system do? Should I still be able to use the control panel to turn on and off the compressor, or should the control panel be essentially useless?

Any help or links would be greatly appreciated. I'd love to find some more information to understand all aspects of the system, not just the heating.

Thanks!
