You have a leak...easy to fix at home.

it goes to the defrost and the floor and will almost do the front vents. They said the vacuum door inside the dash was broken, 125 dollar part + 500 labor for taking the dash in and out

If you don't have the tools or inclination to do the job, it makes sense - you can't run around Texas without AC any more than Michigan w/o heat. It would drive me looney to pay $500 to a dealer for the work. Of course, spending money at all drives me looney.

I'm also amazed they would have the service part for a '97.
