I have an odd problem with the flow of the air conditioner. I had to have
the front brake lines replaced because of corrosion, 77500K, in fact one
actually perforated. Right after that the problem with the air flow began,
maybe just a coincidence.
The air flows from the panel just fine until I begin to accelerate, then
the air is slowly deflected to the defroster and stays that way until I let
off the gas. At that point flow returns to the panel. I can hear the
doors changing. I checked the
vacuum line from the vacuum booster to the junction at the intake manifold
and found nothing loose and no evidence of rodent activity. I see nothing
up under the dash board that looks loose or chewed. What are some
possibilities? I guess it goes to the shop soon.

Classic symptom of a Vacuum leak. Get a hand-operated vacuum pump and
check all hoses, the check valve, reservoir can, vacuum motors. When
vacuum is low/lost in the system, it reverts to the default position
which is the air-flow to the defroster. Easy enough to check, or you
can pay to have it done/corrected.

You either have a vacuum leak or the vacuum check valve is
bad. Make sure the vacuum cannister connection is connected
properly.

It is not a check valve. It is either in a line in dash, the control
for it or the dashpot itself (a vacum leak is somewhere here)
