Default A/c and gauge wiring

Hello all
I have a 97 RS v6 3.8 5 speed that I'm lm7 t56 swapping and I was wondering how to get the ac and factory gauges to work properly I've been searching the forums for a long time and found stuff for 98 and newer and 95 and older but nothing specifically for the 97 I've been banging my head against the wall trying to find an answer to no avail any and all help would be much appreciated

I wrote the book on this a long time ago.

My question to you is what pinout diagrams have you found, and can you read a schematic?

V6 and V8 wiring is not much different.

@themerv thank you for your sticky link and to answer your questions I am a gm tech so yes I can read schematics lol and I have access to gm schematics and also have access to prodemand I was just unsure if there was a digital/analog difference this year because of the changes to the model during that year and what one would have to do to get it to work correctly an gm intended I do appreciate you taking the time to write back

@the_merv I also forgot to say that I'm using a standalone ls swap harness that I repinned to work with the vortec truck engine (the harness was based on an ls1) it has provisions for the fan controls, tac, fuel pump relay and some other stuff I'm just worried about getting the ac wiring, oil pressure, speedo, and coolant temp from the v6 cluster integrated to work properly any info on this would be super helpful thanks for the advice
