Heater Control Valve & 4th Gen HVAC

The 3rd gen HVAC has 2 vacuum lines connected to the hot/cold selector. When the selector is all the way on the 'Cold Position' the vacuum is opened between these 2 lines (pink & gray) to divert coolant. After about 1/3 of the levers travel towards the 'Hot Position' the line is closed.

Has anyone been able to make this functional with their 4th gen controls??

The only info I've seen on it is that everyone just makes the line closed all the time. It's the only part of my HVAC I have left before I have 100% functional controls (I even got the vacuum servo for mixed mode hehe).

That thread just deals with the vent selection vacuum. I'm talking only about the 2 vacuum lines that control the Heater Control Valve.
