Yo Blair,
WELCOME!
The floor door is operated by a vacuum "motor". See attached HVAC vacuum diagram that includes hose colors. The only cable operated door is the TEMPERATURE Blend door.
Look for an abused black/yellow hose, begin behind instrument panel HVAC Controls to Floor/Defrost Vacuum Motor to Floor/Defrost Door. I marked these with sloppy arrows due to a bent index finger
Overview in 80-86; "Off - Vacuum is applied to Outside Recirc Door Vac Motor, closing that door to outside Air.
Normal A/C - Outside-Recirc Door is open to outside air. The panel door directs air to the instr panel registers.
The Temperature Control Lever moves a cable connected to Temp Blend Door that mixes heated & un-heated air. In Defrost Mode - No vacuum to any vacuum "motor" (cannisters looking things), air Flows to Defroster outlets (& air compr clutch is engergized).
Vent - Outside Recirc Door is open to outside air, as in Normal A/C. Vacuum is applied to the Panel Door Vacuum Motor, letting air flow only to the instr panel registers. In the same way, the defroster outlets are closed by the Floor/Defrost Vacuum Motor.
Floor - The Outside-Recirc Door is Open to outside air. With No Vacuum at the Panel Door Vacuum Motor. The Panel Door directs air to the floor outlets.
Mix - Vacuum is applied only to Port A of the Floor/Defrost Vacuum Motor positioning the Floor/Defrost Door at mid-position. Air Flow is split between the floor & windshield. There is no vac at the Panel Door Vacuum" by me
Just in case;
See this Door Locations pic in 80-86 w/Dash dropped; "...After lowering the column, removing the big Aluminum casting, unbolting the 2 large connectors under the brake booster & releasing them from the firewall, the 3 connectors in the R kick, & the green ground ****** there are four 7mm (T15) screws along the w/s, an 8mm (5/16") at the R end, and two 8mm screws at the brace bars above the tunnel, and the dash flops onto the floor. Then the vacuum lines, HVAC cables, & antenna cable can be released, allowing the dash to come out..."
