Hate to put you at a disadvantage, but could you swap cars with her for a few weeks? OK, if she drives like the special someone (it's Mother's Day, no whining today) that I share cars with, your car will never be the same - but it is an almost 15-year-old car, right? I have given up complaining about the curb-scratched Aero wheels, punctured bumper covers, scrubbed wheel opening molding, etc. This would give you some time to sort things out - if you want to.
I don't see how fixing the A/C can come to $1200, unless you are including the heater core. Condensers are cheap, hoses are too and/or could be rebuilt (at a "hydraulic shop"), front fan can be picked up used, compressor may still be OK, etc.
On the other hand, somehow I survived my grad school summers in St. Louis (a typical summer day there is 90+ degrees/90% humidity) in my navy blue, non-A/C-equipped Volvo 142. But I also understand about daughters, so I guess that isn't happening!
