Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Hi, I had an issue with the AC not blowing the air from the front vents. i found
2 corroded vacuum lines under the hood from passenger side, one is black
and the other in gray and i think the black one connected to the vacuum
reservoir under the dashboard in the passenger side but the gray one
couldn't trace it . when i went to the mechanic, he replaced both the vacuum
lines under the hood, but he used a joint to connect both to the vacuum
control valve . i don't believe that both were connected to the same valve.
If someone have any idea where the two vacuum lines supposed to be
connected? Please check the picture. and is there any harm if both lines
connected to the same valve?

Yes, i saw a lot of videos for the actuator. but in my case the black vacuum line connected to the vacuum reservoir was corroded. this vacuum reservoir is giving the force to the actuator to open and close. When he connected this line the actuator started to move again and open and close the vents door. but i found a gray line right next to this black line and it was also corroded. i think this gray line should be connected to the heater valve in the picture. i'll try to check another car to see if this gray line is connected to the heater shutoff valve
