Re: a/c shuts off at high rpm's in bronco

Your post may have been better titled as

"my air flow diverts from vents to defrost when engine accelerates or runs at higher rpm"

This is a typical vacuum leak in mode door vacuum line under hood scenario. Trace the black plastic vacuum line from firewall to vacuum reservoir to intake manifold - see if it is broken or cracked or deteriated- the cut out bad portion or add new.

The mode doors are spring loaded such that if there is a loss of vacuum (your case) that the air flow goes to defrost for safety - so as to not allow foggy windshields and inability to see where you are going.
