Default AC vacuum line help!

I just repaired the leaking battery acid. Took the fender off, grinded the frame to bare metal, painted everything looks great. Now im repairing the broken AC vacuum lines from the leaking battery. Both were broken so I peased in some vacuum line. Started the car the vents were still not switching modes.

Then I hooked a vacuum gauge to each line (manifold/one going to the car). Started the car the gauge didn't move for ether of the lines. So does this mean that the vacuum line to the manifold is broken somewhere?
Thank you for your help.
