Your problem might be vacuum related. Take your air cleaner box out and see if the heater valve is closing.

I'm fairly certain all the vacuum stuff is working properly. I was getting heating in the winter and A/C cooling up to last week. I haven't had a chance to test anything yet other than to confirm the compressor clutch is not engaging. I am not getting warm or hot air when I try to run A/C, it's definitely outside air temperature. I figure if I jump the low pressure switch, I can check if the clutch engages. If it does, then low refrigerant is the likely culprit. I don't have gauges so I can't test it directly.
As for ozone hole, this isn't the right forum and I don't want to inject politics into it at all, but there is very solid science behind the issue of CFC's and ozone depletion. The Wikipedia article
Ozone depletion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia has a good overview. That is all I will say on that subject.
