Have you had the system tested? Most likely it needs to be recharged.

To remove the EATC-Electronic Automatic Temperature Control, remove the upper instrument panel molding, which is held in by snap-in tabs. The screws securing the control module(4) should be visible and removable. Disconnect the electrical and vacuum, connect them to the replacement and reverse the process.
