Question Air Conditioner help?

I’ve finally given into people saying “Put your dam air con back in!”, so that’s what I’m doing... I’ve installed everything (i.e. the compressor, radiator etc) but now I’m having trouble with the wiring and I need some help.

Can anyone tell me where this wires go?

This one has always been there except I never knew what it was, but the Haynes book tells me it’s for the air-cond relay, should it be connected into a relay?

Found a pic that might help. On my a/c that wire connects to a wire coming off the driver side fender. You can see it in the middle of the pic.

That wire plugs into the main harness - theres a wire that comes out just like in FD's pic. Your A/C relay should be on the left front fender wall behind the shock tower. This relay is the direct trigger for the clutch.

FD, your shock mount sure looks strange. Let's hear the details about it.

Well, if you mean what the hell is it? It's the ground control camber caster plates with tokico shocks.

And if you mean the install is a little shady, that was me. I did'nt take my time with the grinder making the holes for the plates. I need to go back in there and touch it up with a file and maybe some paint.

Being able to dial in some negative camber and more caster has been great. The car is so much more stable at high speeds. I can't wait to do the rear suspension.

I was actually hoping for some kind of new and amazing setup, just couldn't tell from the little part of it I saw. Yours doesn't look bad at all, I've seen much worse.
