Personal opinion only, you should be committed for thinking of driving an Italian car around the country on long road trips. You better have a good set of tools to drive any old Italian car around very much. I have driven my 1985 911 in 40 states, and Canada. Been to California three times. Been on the north rim and south rim of the Grand Canyon. As far south as possible in the 48 contiguous states, (Key West) just last summer. More national parks than I can count.
I have been in 16 degree weather and the heater simply is amazing. I went through Needles, CA when it was only 118 and the AC kept me from sweating, and it was fighting hard. I have driven in 100 degree weather for hours, driving west towards the afternoon sun with the suns rays shining on me, and I had to turn the AC temp knob up in temperature because I was getting chilled.
I have never had any issue except a starter that would get heat soaked and lock up. Push start always works. That starter is long gone and the high torque starter has replaced it.
Good luck on any road trip, and have fun!
