I'd have to agree that the old system seemed to work just fine without all those fans, etc. cluttering up the engine compartment. I think it was Porsche's attempt at keeping up with other manufacturer's systems instead of staying with a tried and true system (as Morgan has been doing successfully). Also, once Catalytic converters became necessary, they needed to change the exhaust routing away from the most efficient routing.
My old 75 Targa with SSI heat exchangers could keep us toasty on the coldest days here in the Midwest. I don't think my complex '84 911 Targa does any better.
However, if you're in an area where it gets hot and humid in the summer, you might want to keep the AC system. I find myself taking my Targa more often than my 914-6 on those hot, humid summer days simply because I need to stay cooler now that I'm getting older.
