To answer your questions:
1) Where the gas pedal meets the floorboard/firewall, there is probably some metal that needs to be lubricated. Look up under your dash and you'll see the accelerator linkage. Once you locate it, put some white grease on it. From the way you described the issue, it is accelerator related (not clutch pedal related) and it appears to be on the inside of your car and not under the hood. Try a little grease and let us know if it resolves your issue.

2...The Air Conditioner is non functional anymore...where can i get a real cheap one?
Since you mentioned that it didn't work anymore, so you had it removed, I'd check with some of your local junkyards. More than likely, you just removed the compressor and the serpentine belt that drives it. You'll need to get both of these items and then install them. Being a 1995, I believe that Dodge was still using the non-ozone friendly freon and then switched over to the newer freon in 1996 (or, at least our '96 Dodge had the newer freon in it). If this is the case, you'll have to find a mechanic to charge your A/C system once you get all of the components installed since the older type of freon isn't available unless you are a licensed mechanic -- and it's pretty expensive. The newer type of freon runs about $5 - $6 a can. The older stuff? Who knows? I think it can only be purchased in large containers (about the size of your gas grill tank) and not the smaller 12 or 16 oz. cans.
One thing you really need to consider, though, is whether you find it "worth" putting that much work into such a car. If you truly believe you'll keep the car for 5 more years, then it might be worth it. The junk yard could want anywhere between $300 and $500 for the compressor. The serpentine belt could cost you $10 - $15 and the freon charge could run you about $80, or more. However, you'll need to also consider the "useful" life that is left in the car. Let's say you have 115,000 miles on the car. More than likely, it could hit 150,000 miles - or, it may not. However, other major parts could start to give out and end up costing you big $$ on repair costs.
When you take all of this into consideration, you'll see whether it's worth it or not to get the A/C working again. For me, if I was only going to keep the car through 2 more summer seasons, then I'd probably just drive with the windows down because $500 - $600 in parts / repair costs could buy lots of ice water.
