Default AC blowing on my knees?????????

Hey guys I did a head swap with intake and some other stuff. I also did a Pro 5.0 install and when I started my car and drove it around I notice that my AC isnt blowing out of the vents but blowing under the dash at my knees. I had to go to work and its very dark in the parking garage so I havent had a chance to take a look.

Any ideas????????
thanks

There is a vacuum line off that controls the blend door.

When you change your AC from heater/usually the floor/ Ac out the vents/defrosts out the dash,the blend door diverts the output of air, one of the vacuum lines off the rear off the mainfolds supplies the vacuum.

It connects to the back of the intake manifold. It is in the area of the oil pressure switch & the MAP sensor.

Yeah found it. Thats the problem with changing so many things at once. When I deleted the air and egr I pulled out the line and didn't see the t fitting and realize that something else was hooked up to it. For the curious guys... the fitting is right under the MAP sensor facing the passenger side. The hose that plugs into it comes out of the fat wiring harness.

thanks guys for the help.... thank you too CAT3 lol.
