A/C wiring, please help

Im trying to fix the butchering the PO done to my car. When I bought it most of the harness had been hacked. It wont be long before the heat gets here so I want to get the A/C fixed.

Background: 88 Camaro, factory v6 car. A/C system was installed off a 90 RS (305 TBI) car.

The factory harness from the car still had the connector for the pressure switch on the accumulator. It has a green and blue wire. They both disappear into the harness.

From what I can tell, that is all I have. My HVAC controls all seem to work correctly. I have all of the connectors for the rest of the system.

There are 3 connectors I need to wire in somehow.
1. I have the clutch connector. I know black goes to ground and green will go to the high pressure switch. But what switch is the high pressure?

2. There is a connector on the back of the compressor. Has a black/white stripe wire and a blue wire. I have no idea where this goes or what it does.

3. There is a connector on a pressure switch in the small line. Im assuming this is the high pressure? It has a blue wire and a black wire.

I'll try to upload a pic later on.

Thanks guys.

Brad

Here's all wiring diags - maybe it helps: http://www.austinthirdgen.org/index.php?pid=19

If you scroll down, you'll see additional diags for 1992 Camaro stuff - alot of stuff - that should all apply to the 1990 A/C stuff, and should also apply to most anything in 1988.

Re: A/C wiring, please help

Thanks but I have the diagrams. My problem though is my ignorance to what the connectors are. The diagrams only mention a single high pressure switch for a 90 RS. So which one do I use? Or do I use them both?

Here is a pic.

Are both of these high pressure switches? (I know the clutch connector)
