Thanks, you are correct that the air bag needs to be removed. Even then, there is a lot of disassembly needed to remove defrost actuator (element). the defrost actuator is directly above the vacuum valves.
Thanks again for your help.

That is life, you are driving a car that was about $70,000 new... 20 years ago.

once you have the air bag out you will need to remove the frame that holds it in order to be able to remove and replace the defrost diaphram.while you are there do both of the fresh air door diaphrams or you will be going back again later.the good news is that your car has the later design brackets for the diaphrams and they only need to be twisted to come out.
