Thanks for the info.  I'll go look in a few days when I have the time, but
is my situation of the left side plugged and the right side unplugged
correct?  If so I suppose I should see right side overhead vents?

As I looked at it, it seemed that the plate blocking the air flow was held
on by just one screw.  It looked like maybe the right side vent has also
been plugged in a similar fashion (faint outline in the shape of the plate
was on the pillar) but the plate was no longer there.
