How to make AC work with your swap, aka: Need help with AC wiring thread Options

[lagos]

ok... so my AC hasnt worked since the swap and i figure now is a good time to wire that crap up. so i have my harness apart and im trying to look at the wiring diagrams to figure out a few things. seems like i need some help.

"ac amplifier" in the diagrams means the main AC compressor, correct?

on it, is a plug called A8 (looking at the 5sfe diagrams). the harness goes from there to a plug called IM1 and then 3 wires go to the ECU's 1st plug. where is IM1 located ? is it the white, 5 wire plug that goes from the 3s hanress, and plugs in right behind the glove box?

if you use your stock compressor, cant you just hook everything up the way it says to hook it up in that 6th gen celica EWD?

thats the basic idea.... but you are now using a 1990 3sgte harness. so you have to rewire where the AC gets its power from to engage the magnetic clutch , comunicates with the AMP, and then rewire the signals the AMP gets from your 3sgte ecu (Ac1, ACT, and imput from your ignitor).
