I have an 83, and have the same color "greige" (tan) carpet as you, but I have matching (tan) seats. My guess is yours is all factory.

I doubt it's a coincidence that this started just after having your CIS/airbox serviced. I would absolutely contact the shop as step 1. I wouldn't be surprised if a hose got knocked off. ...

The previous owner of mine had left the lines in "just in case". The reality was that everything was in such poor shape that I would have to replace it all if I wanted to go back to AC. One of my...
