You are right. It controls the AC/heater vents inside. Without that, only the defrost ducts work. The cruise control on Renix motors works off a seperate vacuum line.

No cruise control and broke A/C so I'm guessing I can take time to figure out how to mount it with the new bumper

All my stuff works. I never got to relocate it since my dad threw it away lol only thing that happened was whenever I hit the gas hard the heat or air would come out the defrost duct. Other than that. Heat,A/C, and cruise still work. (I plugged the line)
