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?

ok.. i figured out the functions of the 3 wires that go to the AC unit

pin 1 =SSR+
pin 2 =SSR-
pin 3 = MISSING n/a
pin 4 = MG+


ssr + and - and the speed sensor that only allows the AC compressor to turn on when it detects that the Ac compressor is spining. like you said above, this is a safety feature to make sure the magnetic clutch wont engage if the drive belt breaks or something.

MG+ is the main power for the magnetic clutch.

edit: i doubt anyone else cares about this thread, but this should be some good info if anyone finds it in the futue.
