My advice is restore and keep your vent windows. They are part of the beautiful styling of a COE of that era.

You might want to enjoy some nice springtime drives with the windows down. Those vent windows and help cool you off in the summer, can supply a bit of controlled fresh air any time of year and they can also control how much wind comes in through the rolled down side window.

...and you never know when your A/C might quit on you.
