Sounds like the AC on my 914. Driving down the highway in August, it was 106°F out. Had the AC on it's warmest temp setting and the lowest fan setting. It still got so cold in the 914 was shivering and had to turn it off and open the windows. Wish the heater in that thing worked half a good as the AC. It kept burning up fan motors. After the 3rd fan motor it burned the wires from the fuse box to the fan motor, the fan motor, and wiring going to fan switch and the fan switch. I gave up. If you just opened the door to the heat boxes on the exhaust the engine cooling fan would push a little air to the cabin, but it would take about 30 minutes to get warm enough to defrost the windows.

You just needed a relay for the fan motor. The heater in my 914 worked great. The heat exchangers are 4 feet long. I added a second fan to the passenger side to really make it blow hot. I drove around in cold weather with the roof off and the plastic heater vents dang near melted. They were deformed a little after one long trip.
Every summer I wished I had ordered AC and every autocross and winter I was happy I did not. It REALLY sucked in the bad old days when I shot weddings. To show up in a coat and tie in 100 degree weather and then work HARD at shooting a wedding sweated out a lot of clothes.
Golly I miss that.
