A little help

Hello guys!
my ac has started to blow a little out from the heater port on the transmission hump. It still blows through the vents but I feel cold air in my feet which is a no no. I've been doing some work behind the dashboard and I may have iether disconnected a vacuum hose and/or plug the hoses back incorrectly. I have a pic of the rear of my temp control unit. Notice how there are 2 vacuum ports with no hoses is this correct? If not what hoses connects to them, and where don't connect to.
thanks guys! White striped vacuum hose at the top, these 3 are at the back of the temp control inside the car. Should there be something attached to the other 2?

Yes there should be hoses attached. Year make and model always helps along with a CSM before starting. Not trying to bust your ***** but....

Yep you're right, sorry. It's a 1971 Cutlass base with factory air. 350 engine and transmission. I'm not sure what a CSM is it means. Btw, I don't see any loose vacuum hoses anywhere

Don't apologize. Just be prepared. I don't have a 71 CSM, but someone will help out hopefully. A perk about being a CO member is there are no questions that can't be answered here. The tone among members on this site can't be beat. Good luck with your A/C. Here in the South it's a lifer saver. Feeling lucky today, It's only 96* at the moment.

Yes it's 93 in my part of the country, but feels like 103!!! I'm about to convert to a parallel flow condenser, but I want to make sure all the air is blowing where it should. I've looked at a couple house diagrams online but they're hard for me to follow

Lucky you! It's 113º here and it hasn't peaked yet.
