Default 1971 climate control vacuum hose question

I'm in the process of a resto re-assemble and like most people run into questions or 2nd guessing yourself. My question is I have a small hose (small in diameter) running from my factory assembled vacuum conection on the climate control the pc with all the vacuum hoses the single line runs from that vacuum assembly THRU the firewall and in the direction to the passenger side behind the wiper door actuator. I do have it labled saying that it connects to a plastic T on the steel vacuum line that comes accross the firewall. I looked at my aim and theres nothing there. I'm not even sure if it would be on the big diameter on the steel line or small diameter.

1971 coupe smblk ac

The hose is black. No color markings

The A/C control vacuum feed line is the small black line that enters the firewall through a 3 hole grommet along with a green striped line and a white striped line. It is shown in the '71 AIM on page L153, UPC 1, Sheet M3. The "T" fitting you referred to is labeled #9 and that line's routing is clearly shown.

No problem. The AIM usually has the info you want...but it can be difficult to find, at times. You're never sure where something like that will be in the book.

I own a 70 coupe with no a/c...where does the tiny climate control hose connect to? I can't find nothing in the 70 AIM. A picture would be great

Not sure what tiny hose but if you mean the one located on the right hand-side of the climate control it runs towards the back and across behind the drivers seat and up to control your rear ventilation.(this is only on non a.c)

Hi,
Here's what 7T1 mentioned.

The last picture shows the hose going through the firewall.
