Heater problems?

Normally i don't use 'high' on my car. Cause well, there's the t-tops, and it doesn't get ungodly cold here (except for lately). Well last night, i turnt the heater on high, and i noticed not much air is being sent through the vents... The blower for it sounds like its pumping a good amount of air, but not much is comeing out of the vents...Sounds like a big ole' 15PSI blower under the hood but in the car it feels like its pushing 2 PSI worth... What is the problem?

-2.77 Gears (not much to brag about but eh, its there)
-MSD 8.5 mm plug wires
-Problems every other day with the car (probably not a mod, but to me it sure makes a difference)

my 'guess' is faulty vacuum lines that all meet at the back of your heater control in the dash. They actuate the vents.

good luck
