I just bought this car and I am fixing various things that need tlc. I charged the A/C and it seems to cool, but it only blows out the defrost vent. Also at the same time it seems to blow warm air out the floor vents. It runs great ,so that means not likley a vac leak, right?

Any ideas , Thanks

Hello, yes, you need to check the vacuum source. On systems that use vacuum for actuators, I've seen them default to the defrost mode.
