Narrative:
While ferrying aircraft back to home base with air conditioning that was not cooling; I experienced numerous failures: bleed air fail; autopilot fail; EFIS fail; FMS fail. I asked for and received radar vectors to my destination. All items were dealt with in accordance with checklist procedures; and the decision was made to continue due to VFR weather conditions and operable standby instruments on the copilot side. I did not declare an emergency; but did have to explain to ATC that my primary flight instruments were not functioning.
