Could be numerous things:
-Did you unplug the a/c to do the swap? If so did you hookup the lines/ get a recharge?
-Did you check the vacuum lines underhood that handle the heat/ac system? One maybe cracked or unplugged.
-Did you hit the heater box when doing work? You may have cracked it.

What happens when you try to turn it on currently?

back of the manifold, I forgot if its on the left or right. You should be able to feel it by hand.

Its definitely the vacuum line. After removing my AIR I acidentally unhooked that line and nothing would blow through the vent.

I just felt around back there and was able to reconnect it and the ac blew through the vents again.

If it's not that one in the back of your intake, check the blender valve to the right of the PCM as your's looking at the motor from the front. If it's cracked just get a new one. They're not hard at all to replace.
