Default Vacume for Vents

Im replacing the light and wiper vacume lines on my 70. I want to disconnect the vacume lines for the vents, where do they enter the system. The hose layout I have doesnt show the vent hoses.

If your talking about the rear "Astro Ventalation" vents, there is a tee by the wiper door vacuum valve on my 70 to the small vacuum line going to the console heater control valve. From the console valve there is a metal tube going to the rear vacuum can for the valve (runs back through console, across vertical kick-up behind passenger seat, then rearward to can.)

Thanks LT1, so all the vacume lines in the console plus rear vent receive their vacume from the Wiper door vacume valve which opens the wiper door.

Hi S,
Almost, ... they receive the vacuum from the vaccum LINE running to the wiper-door relay and acctuator. The last picture shows were the line goes through the firewall.
Here's the 'T' LT-1 mentioned.
Regards,
Alan
