In my truck, when it is on face and feet, the compressor cycles on intermittently instead of engaging and staying that way like when you put it on A/C. Face/feet is just cool on a warm day and not cold like if you were to put the **** on A/C.

Be a simple matter to install a switch to completely disable the compressor.
Also, keep in mind, that when the vents are set to defrost, the compressor also runs. Reasoning there is, refrigerated air carries less moisture. I was always of the opinion that if I am running the defroster, ALL of the air outside is already refrigerated....... what's the point of cooling it further??

With the AC engaged and set to defrost, as others have described, this is a good thing.
You can set the temp dial to warm or hot and it should not disengage the AC compressor, so you get hot dry air.
