vacuum lines for the a/c heater controll

Where does the vacuum line go for the selector. Is it on the selector or on the unit under the dash. Also is it a constant or timed vacuum? Thanks

I'm not sure where the vacuum is at under the dash but it mounts to the ball on the passenger side firewall by the condenser? and is mounted usually to a T fitting behind the carb on the manifold. the T is for the manifold, heater hose, and usually the auto tranny vacuum modulator (has a rubber hose to a steel line).

Not always the case Brandon. My 85 has the vacuum ball on the drivers side, mounted on the inner fender in the corner of the firewall.

I don't know about you guys, but my vacuum ball is only hooked up to the cruise control system.
