hello. 68 Mustang 289, had air conditioning. I need help locating a vacuum line connection which comes from under the dash through the firewall to intake manifold. It controls where the air comes out of the dash or defrost. At my controls where it says max,air, fresh,heater and defrost, there are three vacuum lines but they all seem to be connected to something and near heater core all of those lines seem to be connected to something. also I'm having to. connect and disconnect the vacuum line going to the heater core shut off valve under the hood depending on the weather. I've had this car since I was 18 and can't remember what I did when I installed aluminum intake. Help! ☺

There is typically a valve mounted to the side of the air box. It has a plunger type actuator on it and the cable that controls the AC vs HEAT function hits that plunger and opens or closes the water valve in the engine compartment.
Other controls such as HEAT and DEFROST and AC have lines going to the various vacuum motors to open and close the appropriate doors for that function.
While this is fairly general information, with some logical thinking and some testing, you can figure out what needs to go where.
Or, just check out a shop manual for your particular car. The Ford manuals have all the vacuum schematics. This is one for a 70. Yours may be similar. I can email some better pics of this if you want.

ok, you can also get color coded vacuum diagrams from scott drake that are a virtual necessity.
my guess is that you will have some leaking vacuum pods also but i can tell you this . . there are only 2 vacuum lines that come out of the firewall for the ac . . one goes to the heater valve and the other goes to a vacuum can that is mounted i the right wjeel behind the wheel or behind the battery tray.
it is quite helpful to have a might vac pump when checking these systems.
