Vacuum lines behind climate control/radio
Am in the process of replacing the aftermarket radio in my 85. Noticed that I have 3 vacuum lines that a mouse chewed in a few places. They are RED, PINK and LIGHT BLUE. All of them are chewed to the point I can't identify where they went. If anyone has insight I would appreciate it. I'm guessing some or all are part of the climate control, but wanted to research a little more before I start disassembling the dash any further.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Thanks for the info. Makes sense, the climate control has never worked like it should. Now I just have to figure out how to repair or replace them all.
Do you think splicing them would work? If I could find a rubber hose that fit snuggly over them would it work, or is the vacuum pressure high enough that the lines need to be 1 piece?
