I would start with basics first, if there is no heat, the first thing I would ask you is if the engine temp gauge is getting up into the middle range (normal operating temp) and if the coolant tank is full, because if the coolant is low you won't get good heat.

If there is no freon then the AC won't work, so can't really tell if the system is working or not without a freon charge in it, so need to get the system tested for freon leaks first, then charge the system and go from there.
The car was always able to drive, it runs perfectly fine.

NOTE: In upon explaining I did post the engine gauge temp. "The car does not overheat to my knowledge, after installing the new thermostat, it appears to be staying at "87-F" (Basically in the middle range.)

The coolant tank is full (I'm guessing because when my dad installed the thermostat, the car was asking for coolant, (obviously because the lost of coolant.) so I added coolant to the tank and the light went away.

The "AC Compressor does not engage, (obviously because no freon. ) but I'm trying to find a local trustful shop that can check this all out.. without killing the pocket.. , it's also hard because of my working times 6 days out the week off on a sunday.

I was assuming my last option is the "Duo Valve" (Heater Control Valve) which I did purchase this part, I have no idea how to remove the old one from the car and replace it.
