Steve:
I had a leak in my Mustang heater core this past summer and got a fog coming out
of the A/C vents. Like others have reported, it was not enough to notice the
smell of antifreeze. I'll bet it would have created serious cold-weather
problems.
But another direction to pursue is to check the positioning of the vent doors.
If in removing the A/C the vent doors got stuck in the "recirculating" mode, you
could develop the same sort of window fogging in cold weather. I've had that
problem a couple of times in different cars, and in particular with a
climate-controlled Ford SHO that would fog up intermittently, whenever the door
would stick in some intermediate position.
