Default A/C air flow direction

I am new at this, so this is probably a dumb question. 1995 C4. When I set the temp. to 65 degrees, the A/C comes on-the indicator for vent/foot- but when I change the direction of flow to vent only, the A/C goes off and I just get warm air. If I switch back to vent/floor the A/C kicks back on again. What do I have to do to get the A/C to work on the vent only setting?
Thanks for your help.

AFAIK, Vent means outside air, even on mom's '99 Buick.

Max, Norm, BiLev and Def are the "A/C compressor on" settings.

There's probably people here that actually have a same year Corvette that can clarify. But generally, that is how GM do.

The A/C compressor does not operate in the "Vent" only mode.

In the vent position on both the Manual and C60 control panel the A/C compressor does not run. If you have the 95 owners manual that information starts on page 3.1
