Default a/c help

after doing my swap i decided to stop being lazy and put my a/c belt back on. i put the belt on, filled the car up with freon......and the air isnt blowing cold. it worked fine before the swap. i do not hear the a/c compressor kicking on. i was told our cars take 1.67 lbs of freon (or something like that) so thats what i put in.....but i dont hear the compressor clicking on and off. the plug that clips onto the compressor is plugged in. please help

Well, There are a couple plugs you have to check. There is the one on the compressor, behind the clutch, then there is a high side pressure sensor in the high side line (the small one) and a low pressure sensor in the low side (big line). If they are all 3 plugged in, then jump the connector of the low side pressure sensor on the harness side with a piece of wire, if the compressor kicks on, then she is still low on freon or that sensor is bad. Hope that helps.
