Help! all air comes through bottom vents/heater vents

[tonyponykay]

including a/c (which i finally got working), switching to vent, the air still comes through the bottom vents that are hugging the center console, nothing even out of the lower side vents, dash vents or front defroster vent.

took console apart and found a black and yellow vacuum tube hanging out with nowhere to attach to. the temperature control functions, but everything blows out the bottom.

1980 vette.. sure could use some help, starting a course wednesday and I hope i can put it all back together and get everything working by then so i can drive.

Thanks very much
tony

I just had the same thing happen on my '81....
remove the glove box,and in behind it you will find some very small
vacuum lines. check to see if they are still intact or perhaps a critter had them for lunch....mad

if you have an service manual it will help you with this repair!!!!
BTW...I hope have small hands there's not alot of room in there!!!

good luck!!!

all fixed

thanks for help,

found where the loose vacuum line goes, found broken hard vacuum line to firewall, fixed it all, charged up the A/c, pressure switch is old and still a little finicky, but it all works now.

thanks
