Seconded. 
Well worth the time to do a fresh heater core and new foam. 
Mine works well and even helped cut back on engine noise in the car!  
  Not that I would subject mine to salt etc we get around here!

Bill,

If you put new foam in your heater box (and lube the fan motor so it 
spins faster), the defroster will work great. I don't know if they 
finished the kit up yet or not but Detroit Muscle Technologies 
(http://shop.detroitmuscletechnologies.com/) was working on a foam kit 
for your car. BTW, I don't think they have any AMC stuff listed on their 
web site but they do sell stuff through eBay.

If you want to see what's involved in doing this, check out
