Given everything else is equal, such as the ambient air temp, the condition of the a/c system, etc, a Pantera in Hawaii, Georgia or Texas will not cool the air as much as a Pantera in Las Vegas, New Mexico, Arizona.
It's been a long time since college physics but it would seem to me that the opposite may be true. Any engineers care to comment because I could be dead wrong.
The specific density of dry air is less than humid air, so, as a result there is less mass to transfer the heat to. That's one of the reasons why water works better than air to cool an engine.
