Reason being? Last I checked the efficiency of the AC compressor was determined by a combination of pulley size and revs, not engine capacity
Don't notice any power loss at speed (ie full throttle, fifth gear) with aircon on vs aircon off, so can't see that a 1.6 would have any benefits unless you undersize the pulley to get more revs out of the compressor, in which case the extra go of a 1.6L might be beneficial.
not talkin about it being cool, talkin about driving. drive a 1.3 with the a/c on, then drive a sierra 1.6 with the a/c on.....oh so much better....can still overtake.

I was a Case Worker in Bourke NSW from Nov 03 to Feb 04 and we had sometimes 14+ days in a row with 45-50 degrees maximum temperature. I would be in the pub at 11.30pm watching the Austar Weather channel where it said "current temperature in Bourke and Cobar- 39 degrees"
I didn't have my zook back then, but my old Paj did ok in the extreme heat...
