>>>Somebody has your system jacked up.

The upper pipes are for the defroster hoses to the two side defroster vents 
(single-pod dash has three round defroster vents), while the two lower 
pipes are to direct hot air to the driver and passenger footboxes.   Sounds like 
with your current setup, if you select the defroster setting, you don't get 
full defroster action?

The parts book shows it reasonably clearly:
