Not that a Southern California boy should have input on this, but...
You'll definitely want to always have air flowing to the windshield. This will deflect the warm moist air from your breath away from hitting the windshield in the first place.
Unless it was disabled (you can unplug the connector for this on the back right corner of the manual HVAC controls), the AC should be on whenever either of the two defrost settings are on. It will not turn on the AC light, but it will be active. Big but here though - that doesn't happen below freezing. There should already be "zero" (ha!) moisture in air if it is below freezing.
It may just be that you are much closer to the windshield in the 3rd gen - most other modern vehicles have a windshield much farther away.
