Default Need help with Vents.

I have a 77, When I turn the blower/fan switch I can hear the fan in all stages as I move thru low to high. But the air only comes out the bottom. When I move the a/c switch I hear it engage, but still air out the bottom only. I pout in a new switch and levers, checked all vacum lines to it, they seem fine and flexible. I do hear a leak where the soft plastic part (all the vacum lines connect to) to the switch is. After car is turned off you can hear the air leak out for about 30 sec.

Ok I found two vacum lines from under the hood switch, one is small white/creamish in color, the other a bit bigger and is soft black hose. Where do they hook up in the engine compartment??????
