You probably have a vacuum leak on the passenger side. its a small plastic hose some times they come unpluged from the engine. or brake.

SOURCE: heater and ac vents

You have a vaccum leak on the mustang. Unsure of the Contour.. I believe it is the middle hose where the three fittings are (right in front of the driver seat in the engine compartment) Mustangs are notorious for vaccum leaks there

Sounds like you have a supply vacuum problem. When you lose supply vacuum to the control head it defaults to defrost.

A/c and heat dash vents won't work but all others are fine

check the actuator motor on the heater sounds like the motor is not directing the air as it should. The motor is in the center of the truck inside attached to the heater and has arms on it to move the heater and ac doors.

1985 chevy idles high when defrost is on

Interesting. If it is a vac leak you should be able to plug the line from the intake to kill the leak.
My guess would be the idle speed control is raising the base idle to cover the load the ac compressor would put on the engine.
If the compressor is not working, the computer would not know.

Defrost blows constantly? How do i fix it?

does it blow through the defrost vent only when you switch to vent/floor or does it blow through defrost and vent/floor? is it a switch that is just electric or a manual lever that you slide? the manual type will have that problem if the diverter or the linkage behind the lever(in the dash behind the panel......may be able to access underneath) becomes broken or disconnected so that the air is diverted to defrost regardless where you move it.if you can get to it, you will see what is broken or maybe a fastenerr fell off.

Heater/AC vent option knob produces knocking sound in back right corner. i.e. the knob rotates from vents in front to half front half floor to all floor to half floor half defrost to all defrost. the...

If I am reading correctly you are hearing the vent doors moving to redirect the airflow to the vents you choose. This is normal and can be more noticeable if the blower fan is on, putting air pressure against the doors.
