Default Permanent vent on AC

Anyone ever make the vents on AC permanently? I want to eliminate the vacuum to the vent diaphrams and just have the doors always on the AC side blowing from the upper dash. I've done this to my Vintage air on my 68 Camaro.

I have done this on both of my 81 vettes. But here I use AC year round and don't even have a heater core in the car.

That's what I want to do... I only use the AC and will have no use for the heater. I just want to get all I can out of the system by making sure the vents are erally secure. Can you tell me which ones and what position they should be sealed in?

Thanks
