AC system on 98 Ls1 swap

Anybody have the AC wiring figured out on a 98 LS1?

I just finished my swap, fired right up, damn I was edgy for a bit, lots of wires

but in all the FAQ's and searches I did people disregard the AC system all together.

I have a plug that goes into the cabin that was not used at all, I assume it has something to do with AC.

thanks,

That's going to be the A/C request wire more than likely. Hook it to a switch to request the PCM to turn on the compressor.

Yours shouldn't be too terribly tough, I hacked and whacked an entire LS1 A/C system into a Mustang - fiberglassing up the heater box under the dash and everything

There should be three connectors going inside the car. The blue connector is the one that has the A/C request wire, and its the green wire on that blue connector. Those three connectors are full of useful stuff - park/neutral switch, brake pedal switch, VSS, serial data, SES light wire, etc. I mapped out the ones relevant to my conversion so I can help you with at least those if you need 'em.
