Default Fixing HVAC warm driver side and cold passenger side

Lots of Corvette had this problem and it throw codes B0361 and b0441 codes. Tryed to reset the codes but the comes back again, after serching the CF i found out it the AC actuator.

This site has a good info: http://vette.tnreeds.com/actuator/actuator.htm

I removed the driver side actuator and I turn it by my hand manualy and the AC back cold again BUT it was not as cold as passanger side even though it was all the way on the cold side !!

Any one faced the same thing, i am planning to remove the acuator as long as i do not use the heater.

Location of the driver actuator is showing in the picture, i had to remove the gauges panel to access it otherwise it's impossible to reach it.

After removing the actuator i found out it was not fully turned to the cold side, by turning this shaft by hand CW it stoped blowing air ! And when I turn it CCW the Driver side start to blows cold air.
