Default 1989 HVAC vacuum pods

Merry late Christmas everyone.

I'm restoring an 89 Z51 and have the interior totally stripped out to the firewall. HVAC module was in bad condition, so I restored it. I realized 2/3 vacuum pods no longer held suction. I've tried to track down some replacement pods and none of the regular parts stores or Corvette stores seem to have these pods. I'd hate to make a trip to the dealership, but exploring all options before then 1. Am I calling them the wrong thing? 2. Anyone have some suggestions on where I could track some down? part number on them is:

051089N5

Thanks as always
