Sounds like the air blower motor is off balance.

You probably have some loose screws on the motor is all. I'm not sure on the second part of your question without looking at it.

Is the blend door moving at all? If not did you reconnect the vacuum line from where it comes out at the hole in the firewall?

Oh you're talking about the heater box I think. I can't remember which line goes where on the box. I did this at the end of summer myself. Just try switching them around and see if it fixes your issue. Other than that you may have a loose connection on the switch panel. It will take you just a minute to pull that off to check it out.

Personally, Whenever I'm about to take something apart that is fairly complex with numerous wires and hoses and whatnot going to and fro..

I like to keep a camera handy to take a picture or two of how it went together originally so that I have a reference point when it comes time to put things back together.

I find that invariably, when it comes to doing repairs... they generally take several times longer than anticipated to complete than first thought. Having something to refer back to makes things much easier when you've slept a few times since you took it apart.

Honestly though, I'll be the first one to admit that after I take some pictures, I most of the time never go back and look at them again. There's just no need. But I'm *ALWAYS* thankful that I have them that one time that I really do.
