Default 1990 Accord LX, overheating?

Hi all,
This may be a dumb question, but here's the deal. I have a '90 Accord LX
with 208,000 miles. The timing belt has been changed, I have kept up with
all the oil changes, etc. It has a radiator barely a year old. Up until
recently, I've driven the car just around town, and it's been normal wear
and tear. In the past couple months, I've taken road trips to York, PA,
about 5 hours from me, in Richmond, VA. I've noticed the dash feels kinda
hot after about a half hour on the road and the area around the stereo too.
I always check the oil before I hit the road. The temp gauge remains in the
middle. I thought I noticed some warm air briefly coming through the vent
even when the heat was off, recently. The AC croaked last summer and I
never got it fixed, if that's even a factor in this?

Since I've just started taking this car on the road, I'm a bit concerned.
I've called dealers, shops, nobody wants to touch this car, because they
have no idea what it would be, if anything. You have to drive it about a
half hour anyway to do this.

Any ideas? Anything to be concerned with? I'm going to Hershey PA this
weekend.


Thanks,
Josh
