Does the air only come out of the defrost?..if so it's probably a vacuum leak so I'd trace the lines and look for cuts or disconnects. When mine stopped working it was because I had changed batteries and knicked the vacuum line that runs behind the battery along the fender.

High mileage 89, I get 21 mpg with 31's, that's Cdn gals, equates to 17 mpg USgal.
I don't run the air con in the summer, it broke long ago, that;s OK because the Peep automatically system balanced and like a Jeep has no heat in the winter, lolololol, check for vac line dislodged.
