Default 79 heater a/c control levers

i am working on fixing the a/c and the temperature control levers don't move, is there a way to free them up or do i need to replace the control?

It could be the cables or the doors are stuck. Only way to fix is to track down which it is. Don't force the levers, they will break. You might be able to pull the sides off the console and wiggle into the back of the levers to unhook the cable(s).
