With no key your best bet is to call a local locksmith.to come out and make a key then you won't have to change all the locks and ignition.

the a-c and heater run on 2 different systems the heater needs coolant going thru the heater core to make heat by blowing air through it and the a-c uses it's own sealed system to cool the air so if you have no heat / it has nothing to do with the a-c working or not . first thing you do is check the cooling system like rad and coolant levels . you will have heater core hoses running from the engine to the firewall going to the heatercore . grab the heater core hose and feel if it's hot . if your hoses are hot then the heater core is bad or the blending doors are stuck .

take it to a body shop and if it can be adjusted they will tell you ,i have a funny feeling you have damaged it more than you think
