$2 Servo/Aux Pump Bypass Fix !
I had it! Enough! Too darn cold!
So I took out the aux pump, which did not seem to work, and the two lines that it connected to, via the Servo engine side, were both 3/4" (it is the stinkin servo that changes hose size). The two remaining metal lines, running right on top of each other, were connected with a 2' looped piece of 3/4" heater hose ($2), and twisted slightly so it wouldn't collapse. Now, I had full heat to defrost! Then, I reconnected the vacuum lines to the pushbutton unit I had previously disconnected, and I even get the vents (but not the floor vents) to give some heat, and lower blower fan action. I have no idea why those vents work now, but they do. Perhaps something cc related still works.....? Go figure. All I know is now the heats a crankin, and I am smilin  I also dont have heat on all the time, I think, but if it is a problem when it gets warmer, a gate valve will stop that. (unless I somehow figure out a different servo, mine leaks) I will explain this better and take pics if another frusterated servo lightweight like me wants it.

Vacuum Pods
Before I started on the CC unit, I would check my vacuum pods. The pods control where the blows out of. Could even be a loose or broken vacuum line going to the pod. Probrably will need a Mityvac to check them. Do a search on "center vents", "vacuum pods", or "floor vents". Good luck.

update:
well, after bypassing the one line, and leaving the fender side line on the Servo, I noticed a leak from the unused Servo ports. Turns out the Servo is indeed cracked, and must leak internally... So I just got another 2' piece of 3/4, and ran it right around the piece of junk, now she gives pleny o heat, with no leaks. The heat does not seem to be present when the blower is off! We don't need no stinkin servos!

I found that the gasket between the valve and the shaft that turns it goes bad and leaks coolant into the mechanical (top) side then flows out of the drain holes or out of a common crack. DON"T open these things unless you have something to reseal that gasket. Ask me how I know, its a PITA.
