Default A/C & Heater cut out at 40mph?

Hi everyone,

My xj has been doing some strange s*** (this has been happening after I replaced my exhaust manifold) when I get to just about 40mph when the A/C or heater is on it randomly cuts out, but I can still hear it going like it wants to blow out air but it won't. When I let off the gas it kicks back on? I've searched and searched some people said vacuum leak any suggestions to why it only cuts out at 40mph?!

At 40 motors not creating enough vacuum to keep defrost door closed. Make sure vacuum line to storage ball is hooked up and getting vacuum.

Do you think I could have knocked a vacuum line loose or even off when I was replacing my manifold?
