You could rig up a manual switch, or you could go get wiring diagrams and a DMM and chase it down.

Re: I know its not a camaro

Yeah be careful with the manual switch. The compressor is supposed to cycle, not run 100% of the time. These things aren't built for 100% duty cycles. The AC system will still cool with just a little bit of refridgerant, but the pressure switch might not be happy with the amount of refridgerant in there. Could also be a faulty pressure switch.
