Thanks guys.

I'll make sure to check for cruise as well. Of all the examples I've looked at, not one has had working A/C. Due to the fairly cold climate, I guess no one bothers fixing it once it goes out. My Bonneville AC died over a year ago, and I've lived fine without it, so I'll be glad to get a car w/o AC and get a few hundred off the price for it.

Thanks for the blowby checking tips, can you explain to me what exactly it is? What causes it, etc. I'm fairly new to this stuff.
