Coupe GT A/C not cooling interior

[Alan Kramer]

This is the same problem I suddenly encountered with my '83 CGT - 
disconnected vac. hose at the vac. actuator for the A/C flap.  Make sure the 
vacuum actuator holds a vacuum by disconnecting the hose, pushing it in then 
put your finger over the outlet.  If it holds, then you have a disconnected 
vac. line somewhere.  If not, then replace the vacuum actuator.
