Thanks for your quick reply now I will get an estimate on those items. The vapor and anti-freeze smell is coming from the heating/ac vents is the heater core in the front of the car?

Yep...

AC issue could also be a cracked or punctured condensor... have the system pressure/leak tested.

I just changed my heater core. There are 2 hoses that feed it behind the battery. A new one is pricey, I got one from a wrecker that is like new with warranttee on the auction site.
