I have a non a/c 70, and I thought our car configurations were the same, but perhaps I am wrong. The vent levers on the shifter console connect by cable to the dampers located behind the kick panels. The vent ***** are controlled by the chrome push/pull ***** located near each vent ball.

From your description, I'm not sure what is broken. Can you post a pic and/or add more detail to your description?
