Just curious if any of you may have a clue as to whats causing my A/C not to work. I did not pop any A/C lines when i did the engine swap, so i wouldn't think the A/C needs to be recharged. Is there any specific fuses i should look for?

did the compressor get plugged back in correctly? Are the high and low port sensor harnesses plugged in?

just to be clear though, the itll blow air out the vents it just doesnt get cold?

do you ever hear the compressor click on at all?

Did it work before the engine swap? If so, what did you forget to hook up? Retrace your work.

Where are the compressor and high/low port sensors located? And I'm not sure weather or not I can hear it kick on

But exactly.. Air comes out of vents,just doesn't get cold

Yes it did work before the swap.. Looking like I gotta get the car up in the air again

Sounds like you didn't plug something in right! Do you have a gauge set to see if you still have refrigerent?

id check the electrical connector on the side of the compressor, make sure its all the way on

the low pressure switch youll see screwed onto the dryer (its canister with all the ac lines on the firewall, pass side). The think the high pressure side has a cutoff as well, its at the front on the pass side kinda between the headlight and radiator...itll have a little black cap on the port. Id check those three things then if they check out you need to verify freon charge, coulda bumped something and caused a leak or something
