I cant really give you any input sorry. But just remember that both cig lighters combined are only rated for 120W

Edit: I see you have a '96. That may be different than the 120W in my 2012

If you could pull the heater core.

Take it to a radiator repair shop. They could solve the problem without a huge cost.
