Because the exhaust side of the car is right there and the down pipe runs right under your feet. A guy I know said he has to run AC all the time or else it gets too hot.

Do you have the heat shielding for the exhaust still on there? If not, it will bring up the heat since the exhaust is right there. Also, do you have that boot that bolts to the tranny well where the shifter comes up? I didn't have one on mine for a while and the hot air was just flowing up there there.
