Non thirdgen, but need advice

It's a 1990 Z24 Cavalier, with a 3.1 V-6.

I get no heat in the car whatsoever. The blower motor works fine, and the vent doors operate... I replaced the thermostat twice with no results.
It really does'nt seem to have a heater control valve. Looks like the water gets to the heater core through small metal tubes, but they don't seem to heat up after the engine is warm.....has this happened to anyone? How'd you fix it?
The only thing I can think of, is a clogged tube or heater core. But I've never heard of that happening to anyone before. Any thoughts appreciated.
