Default A/C Problem, main vents not working

After my cam install a few months ago, my A/C went to crap. No matter what settings my A/C is on, it will not blow through the little vents, only the main central one by the windshield. The air being blown out is cold, like it was before.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Could it be the vacuum line? I think it might be loose. I will check tomorrow.

thanks! I am thinking it's my vacuum line. My RPMs drop really slowly compared to before my cam, which means my vacuum line is unplugged, if I am not mistaken.

Mine went out, and it only blows on the Windshield, and by your feet. I just removed all the Vacuum crap, haven't had a problem with it since, still blows in the same spots.
