My car does the same thing so I think it's normal behavior.
In addition to closing vents, I have found pressing the recirculation button with the fan all the way off stops the hot air from blowing through the vents. Only annoyance is the recirculation button doesn't stay engaged across engine starts so you have to press it in everytime you start the car.

I'm considering insulating the intake box where the cabin filter is .I think its due to the fire wall getting so hot.

Put on recirculate as others have posted to avoid a/c compressor draw. |

I posted about this over a year ago. It isn't cool, literally, because I always leave the vent on in my cars and the vent blows air that is hotter than ambient temp even when it is cool outside. I had to leave the vent off or run the AC. Apparently, it's normal for the 5th gen Camaro.

I got a little condensation dripping down from left rear of glove box area... what does that mean? AC was on full blast... not sure how condensation gets inside though.
Hiccup.

Same thing here, thanks for the advice about pressing recirc with the fan off. Damn hot air on a cool day on vent sucks.
