That is the airconditoner condenser. In these old cars, it was inside, and you can move those vents to where you want the cool airconditoned air to go. If you don't have an airconditoner, you won't have those. Yes, you can add that if you want to. If you do, then chime back in.

It is a rather crude and simple mechanical operation. The heater and defroster controls are named from left to right..... Heat-Temp-Def. If you have them all three in the up position, and the blower switch all the way to the left, it is not on. If you put the Heat **** all the way down, and the Temp all the way down, you will get maximim heat. If you raise the Temp up a tad, you will get less hot water running in the box, giving you less heat. If you put the Defrost know all the way down, you will channel all the hot air to the windshield via some flex hoses, and the air comes out the grid on the top of your dash on each side of the radio speaker. You can have both heat and defroster at the same time by putting those two ***** about halfway down. Now, you will not get air unless you turn on the fan motor by sliding the switch to the right. So, to answer the original posters query, you will not get air coming out of the defrost vents unless you have motor switch on. But, you can get fresh outside air out of the defroster vents if the motor is on. The other fresh air vent is next to your emergency brake handle. When you pull that out, you get fresh air through the cowl. See the pics.
