Kick panel vents with a/c ?

I converted a non A/C cab to an A/C one. Purchased a factory system from someone. What happens to the kick panel vents on an A/C truck ? Do they get sealed ? I noticed there is a vacuum actuator under the unit near the kick panel vent

My 67 still has the pull handle on the driver side and vent operates just as a non ac truck.

The right kick panel vent is activated to use as a vent when the ac control is set on recirc. Vac is used to open the vent when the air cond has all 3 levers set to the very left side of the control, vac also closes the cowl inlet it the same time

Re: Kick panel vents with a/c ?

I converted my turck to AC. I just removed my handles and sealed the doors shut. I have been workin on an idea to use the right side vent as a fresh air duck for heating in the cold so the windows wont fog up when using floor heat.
