Default A/C compressor wiring with later serial data PCM

SO i know EFI live and HP tuners will change the a/c request from serial data to a straight 12v+ signal, but what pin do I use then to wire it up? I wouldn't think I could use the serial data line. ive got a 2003 ECU, so i go by the earlier diagrams for A/C request?

There are 2 different setups. One for the fixed compressor and one for a variable. If you are using the fixed use the wiring diagram for a truck/express van. This is wired with a pressure switch and cycles the compressor. If you are using a variable you need to wire it with a pressure sensor and wire it like a Camaro/Vette. Pinouts are different and there is a program setting for A/C type.

Just as a heads up we can make any blue green use the camaro/firebird hard wired a/c request and pressure switch. This is by far the best way to run your a/c.

I dont need the pressure switch, this most likely wont have electric fans, just a mech fan, and it's already got the factory cycling switch thats run the system for 32 years with no issues, even after the 134a upgrade, i still get sub 40 temps after a small initial adjustment of the switch. If I do add an electric fan ill look into the alternate wiring. Right now though I just wanted to have the PCM control the compressor via the cycling switch

Which tuning software do you use to accomplish this? Also, which operating system are you running to achieve a 12v request and use the pressure sensor to operate ac and electric fans?

I have hptuners and I see with their new software update you can change the ac type. I haven't heard of any real world experience on whether or not you can make the 12v request work with the pressure sensor. The only calibration that I know of that uses a 12v request is the full size vans and they don't use the pressure sensor, they use a cycling switch.

Im curious about this as well. I have a GMPP E67 in my swap and am working on AC. It'd be a lot easier to have the PCM control the clutch than the system I have laid out.

I'm using a 04 GTO OS and a 802 PCM to run a pressure sensor and a variable compressor hooked to a vintage air on a 4th gen harness. The problem here is people look at one year wiring and/or vehicle and don't see the wiring and you say it cannot work. Think of it this way the newer PCM's are just updates of the 411. Wire it like a 411 and setup the OS for the A/C type along with the differences in the wiring and it will work.
