YOU can get a shop manual find the diagram and trace your vacuum lines accordingly. make sure no lines are loose or cracked. if it is cold of morning, you may hear a leak. it is a high pitch whistle or whine. some old timers use starting fluid or wd40 and spray around suspected leak areas. if the engine speeds up after spraying a burst, it indicates a vacuum leak.

How do you fix the air conditioner on a 1990 Safari that blows through the windshield vent went you accelerate but will blow through the regular vents when you let off the gas?

This A/c system uses a vacuum system to control it's mode(vent , panel, defrost, floor) and defaults to defrost due to a vacuum leak in the system. The first area to check is the vacuum check valve, found at or near the vacuum source. Then check the vacuum hoses to the vacuum reserve canister. If no problem found in these areas, then further diagnoses of the control head and HAVC assemble, by a qualified a/c technician.


1996 E250 why does the air shift from vent to defrost when you get in a pull or get on the gas hard?

You may have a vacuum leak or a check valve isn't working in the HVAC system. When there is no vacuum in the system it defaults to defrost. Under load the engine vacuum drops to almost zero. Normally the HVAC system has a vacuum reservoir to maintain operation during this situation, but if there is a leak it cannot hold vacuum.
