just check for a loose plug... or melted wire... other than that nothing you did with header install would cause yuou AC to stop working.

Cant you just take a battery cable off and put it back on (maybe to reset)? I broke my temp sensor off during my install and they said to do that after i put the new one on. Just a suggestion..

tried removing battery cable a few times but nothing, tried replacing the A/C compressor fuse nothing but it did make the service engine soon light go off, checked it and found it full of freon could not find anything burned up or unplugged if its something that might happen to someone i will post the outcome i finally broke down and took it to GM hopefully it will not be related to the headers

Well Gm says its the compressor that it went out. I am hoping this is just a freak of nature that the same day i do headers it stops working but if its caused by the headers i will find out after they fix it. They are honoring my warranty even though i have the headers on so thats a plus but like i said if for some weird reason it goes out again after they put the new one on thats not gonna look good.
