AC blows cold, but still getting heat out side vents (water valve sealed shut)

I cannot only get air conditioned air blowing out of my vents. In the center vents, I get about 60°F running around town. The faster I go, however, the warmer the car gets. I have sealed off the water valve under the hood so coolant isn't circulating through the core, but the air is so hot it feels like it's engine bay heat? I have the side vents closed off, so no hot air comes in there, but the blower is blowing hot air out the driver's side windshield vent! If I could get this thing to stop blowing heat when the A/C is on the car would stay pretty cool I know the right side heater lever is broken, but does switching on the heat, using the lever, change the source of ambient air? When the heat is on, doesn't it get the air from the same place as the AC? I thought both systems pull in air from the windshield cowl?

Any help would be greatly appreciated as Dallas is pretty hot.

Thanks,

David
