Water By-Pass Valve Help

Hey guys, I really need your help with this one.

I have a 1987 Camaro Sport Coupe 2.8l with no A/C.
I have a couple questions:
1) Does my car have a water by-pass valve?
2) If not, how can I add one?

*the reason I ask is recently the days have been brutally hot, and I'm getting fried with the hot air coming out my heating ducts.

PLEASE HELP!:|

Only air conditioned cars had the water shut-off valve, to the best of my knowledge.

There are in-line valves available. Late 70's Dodge trucks used such a valve for heater temp control.

Do you know where I can find a inline valve?
Preferably one that can be controlled from inside the car. Are there electric ones or just ones that can be controlled from under the hood?
