listen to "Yer Kindly ol' Unka Bart", but i would add that in my experience     
with my 85 4KSq, the a/c system is marginally adequate, needing the forced      
air from highway speeds to work efficiently.  with the hot weather we've been   
having lately in so cal your cooling ducts (quack) need time to cool before     
they provide cool air to the passenger compartment.  you can wait a long        
time in stop-and-go for this to happen.  i'd say test it at night and if there  
is no significant cooling after 10-15 minutes at highway speeds, you've probly  
got a problem.  now that heater is a different story - it'll chase you out of   
the car in 10 minutes at freezing temps!
