Check to see if the duct hose to the defroster vents has come loose. If air is blowing out under the dash when you have the control set to defrost, then this is likely.

SOURCE: Heat wont blow through heater or defroster vents

The door in the heater box is most likely stuck. It is located under the dash on the passenger side

SOURCE: my 2004 gmc envoy loses engine pressure when i

Don't know what you mean by engine losing pressure, but as far as the air not coming out of the correct vents, try the following;
Pull the HVAC-B (#36) fuse for 30 seconds (located in rear fuse panel, under seat), then put it back in. Then turn the ignition switch to RUN (no need to start the engine). Don't touch ANY controls for 90 seconds. I don't think it matters what position the controls are in, but some people think it works better if you have the HVAC system turned off. After 90 seconds, the actuators have gone through their paces, the controller has new memory data on the end stops of the rotation of each actuator, and you might be good to go

A/C will only blow through defrost vents

Common question on this site. On late model cars, the vents are controlled by blend door motors. Small electric motors open and close doors to direct air flow.
Chances are you have a blend door that is stuck or a failed motor.
The default position is the defrost to make sure the windshield is always clear.
Someone will need to look behind the dash to see if all of the doors will move on demand.
