Ok,
So after checking the 10amp fuse I decided just to throw some r134a into it. The ac button is now blinking, I can hear the engine start to idle up when you hit the ac button, But I am not hearing the compressor clutch kick in and of course Im not getting cold air. I also have about 50 psi on the low side with the cheap gauge I am using so I think Im a little full.

How do I jump the compressor to see if the magnetic clutch is bad? Looking at the compressor for sale on EBay below, is the clutch the inner circle in the pulley? Doesn't look like any AC clutch I have ever seen! Where do I connect the positive wire on the compressor to test the clutch? The grey plug I am assuming? And if I do it at the relay, which slots do i jump? I think relays typically have 4 blades? Or is there another relay in the bank that I could put in the AC clutch replay spot?
