There should be a hard plastic vacuum line on the firewall near the HVAC box. hook it to manifold vacuum, that should do it.

Re: heat only blowing from defrost vents

sorry to bring this topic back up. I am having this same problem, are you talking about where the big thick set of wires comes through the firewall and there are 2 really small hard plastic lines coming in? One goes to the bypass(which I removed) and one goes to the back of the throttle body? I need help, only my defrost works. Also the cruise doesn't work, could these be connected?
