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?

Just off the top of my head, it does look like you have everything correct. Really the most important thing is the a/c clutch circut, if that works then your a/c will work. Then we just need to make sure your engine idles up when it comes on. What year is your ECU?

*edit* Oh yeah, and you can pick up one of those little cans at Wal-mart or Pep Boys or whereever and fill it yourself. It's really easy, the instructions are on the can and it'll save you like $100.
