Question on fan blower and aftermarket AC relationship on a '73

My fan blower does not work. The car had dealer installed AC but the lower dash hardware was removed prior to my acquiring it and replaced with a non AC lower dash. I know the AC was dealer or aftermarket installed because I removed the rest of the hardware and it was pretty obviously a typical crude job with US parts.

Anyway to the question. In trying to troubleshoot my problem (I'm a complete novice on auto electrics) I noticed when looking under the dash at the backside of the slider mechanism and it's connections that there is a yellow/red wire coming from a metal plate which is part of the slider mechanism. The yellow/red wire eventually meets up with a black wire and both are joined in the back of a female connector on the other end. The connector is just hanging there without it's mating half anywhere around. In other words two wires in the back of the connector but no mating half on the other end. Also, right next to that connector is another female connector with a blue wire that is also just hanging there. Both have no place to connect to any longer.

So the question is does anyone know if the blower system was integrated into the aftermarket AC and now that it has been removed my blower circuit is just open?

Does anyone have any idea where to proceed next????

Thanks
