Default 1969 GTO factory AC questions

Hi,

new '69 GTO owner here, and I had a couple of questions about the factory AC system that I haven't been able to find info on:

1- is there a "Max AC" setting? It seems ( and correct if I'm wrong) that the INSIDE setting is a dashboard vent function only, and the AC setting operates both the dash and the feet vents. neither seem any colder than the other.

2- if there isn't a Max AC setting, is it possible to make one? ex: close off an outside vent for air inlet?

or is there another way to improve the AC system on these without having to gut it and use a vintage air, etc. and yes, new USA made compressor, freshly recharged system so it should be working as originally designed. Yes, it works OK, but not as well as I thought it might. I have also sealed off the ducting with glue and HVAC tape (not duct tape) under the dash to ensure I'm getting all the air possible to the vents.

thanks!
