Default ac Blower motor location

Hello all, been a while no problems just driving, now I have a question. The ac compressors kicks on and I can feel cold air trying to come thru vents, but no forced air blowing. So I figure its the blower motor, pull out the old handy dandy Chiltons book and it shows a location under fender. I cant find any thing that looks big enough to be a blower and cage assembly. Any help will be appreciated... location location.
Thanks everybody !
1980 corvette non L82

does the blower work with the heater?

Does it work at some speeds but not others? If so check the resistor.

Checked the blower motor and it blows fine. It's just not blowing out the vents like it has been. Anything else I can try ?
Thanks
Robert

Your duct doors are probably not operating. the vac switch in the center console controls vac to them. The duct doors are in the AC ducts, operated either bt a cable or a vac solenoid. Frequently the switch leaks, vac line broken at the firewall. Also count on there being a gap between the main AC box and the dash duct assembly, very poor fiting from the factory, Prepare to take the dash apart, this WILL suck

If it only blows out the heater / lower vents, this is the default position when there is no vacuum to the selector switch.

My bet is vac line seperated just behind the distributor, look closely there and you'll see it coming through the firewall up high right in plain view. Just to the right of the distributor.

I just ordered this plug 19368864, does it come with wires that need to be spliced to the wires after cutting off the old plug?
