Default Heater Vacuum System

I have just recieved my new hoses to replace the vacuum hoses in the heater/AC system.the diagram that came with it shows the routing for the hoses to the diaframs.Had the dash apart 2 tears ago.and I do not remember seeing any valve there...The hose enters th engine compartment crosses over to the passenger side then enters the wipper compartment then disaperes towards the heater blower.The diafram in question is the outside air inlet valve,now its not the one in the footwell in the passenger side, the diagram shows is higher.Can this valve be accessed from the inside? In one one the posts that showed front end damage you could clearly see it.But with fender torn away and firewall its not clear where this valve is.Has only one worked on this valve? is it inside or outside?Any help will be gratly appreciated,Thanks :flag

Looks like the only way to replace it if you have to is remove the fender! Thanks I can see the routing for the hose. Hope the diafram is good!!
