Default Ac only blows through window defrost..

It never was like this it's cold may need a charge but no matter what spot it's on it's still the defrost.. It fogs up my window and it's annoying. Any ideas it's a 2 door 98xj

If the vacuum line hasnt come off the ball behind the bumper check the line as it runs behind the battery. ive had 2 that had rubbed on the battery and were loosing vacuum there.
