It would appear that the temp control door is stuck in the wrong place, or something similar. I do not remember exactly,off the top of my head, but there are at least three control doors in there. I think all the air from both inside and outside goes throught the ac evap. In ac, there is a door that closes off the path to the heater core, operated by the temp control cable, (on my 79 Capri, anyway). Raising the temp setting opens this door and diverts more and more air through the heater core.
The doors that divert air to the panel, heater and defroster, and the recirc (max air) door are the vacuum ones.
I think you can see the temp control cable connection at the door, and can check it for movement. Later cars may use vacuum for this also, not sure.
