When the heater in my '93 wouldn't blow heat, it was a clogged heater
core. A flush, and it was as good as new.
When the AC came out the wrong vents, that was a vacuum check valve. I
went through a spell of vacuum problems. Apparently the check valves get
brittle, and leak. Once they were replaced, I've had no more problems
for two years.
Hope this helps...
