The airflow is not high like modern cars more like a medium speed, however you should feel the air blowing on your face.
Check your vacuum hoses are connected and the airflow does change, between the windscreen demist floor and the center vents when moving the selector.

You may be able to get another fan motor that will spin faster but yes the airflow is pretty poor i know.
