A/C Blower motor: Low Airflow

My a/c blows some of the coldest air I've felt form an a/c system, but it just doesn't flow much volume. I have to have it on high to feel it,a nd even then it doesn't blow nearly as much as I'd like. I remember someone saying they swapped their blower motor and squirrel cage with one from a newer truck, and it helped immensely. Anyone know a newer vehicle that has one that will swap easily into our cars? Or would there be another cause for the very low airflow? It's an 82 camaro if that matters.

New motor

It sounds like the blower motor is going, geting a new one shouldn't be to difficult. If it were me, I'd goto a a/c supply store with the blower in hand, chances are a good place will beable to match it up to a new one for you.

I've searched this topic several times since I first heard about it sometime last year, but the only think I've come up with is a "newer chevy truck" and that doesn't narrow it down much. Hopefully, I'll come up with something once I get my car running again.
