Some electrical wont work and engine holds back

Recently I have noticed that my horn does not work.
I have tried bought a new horn but do not know how to wire it together.
I have tried many combinations but cant get it to work.
Also my car feels like it is holding back.
Like I raced a V-6 mustang with about 190 horse and my car is supposed to put out 225 horse and I ended up losing to the mustang anyway.
So how can I fix that?
Another thing is my radio doesnt work I have the ground plugged in but it wont even turn on or anything.
It is definatly a 350 as I checked the block number and the VIN number.

Also I went to Autozone and picked up a new circuit breaker for the Power Accesories slot. I go to put it in my car and turn it on and none of the stuff works still. Here I will list all the stuff that doesnt work:
1.horn
2.power side mirrors
3.power rearview mirror
4.high beam lights (brights)
5.trunk automatic closing mechanism and trunk release
6.radio
7.power locks? (has power lock buttons but they dont look like they do anything)
8.dome light
Also what would I need to do to make A/C blow cold because right now it doesnt.
