Any help with the following would be appreciated. Thank you all in advance.

6A - There's nothing positive about being charged with what GOP managed to do in Nov. 1979. [?L?C????]

13A - Maybe by employing one from Cracow, gets clean over strong Chambers' defences. [V?U???]

56A - Henry starts to take #2 wife around. Sounds like she'll die naturally. [?E?N?]

9D - Looking for a steady, constant relationship? Is that what one was at in foreign city? [????O]

THanks, JJ. My 'vaults' was coming from 'gets clean over' and also the reference to the chambers of the heart. It was the long first bit of the clue that meant nothing to me!

My grateful thanks to Neveracrossword and JJ109. That was genius.
