A/C was working great but now dead

Hi guys, the air conditioning in my 83 SC has been upgraded with some Griffith parts, including compressor and blower motor. It has been working pretty well in the 6 months I’ve owned the car, even this morning when I drove it to work on what’s the hottest day of the year so far in Dallas.

When I started the car this afternoon, there was nothing from the AC. The interior evaporator fan isn’t functioning and the comprsssor doesn’t appear to be running. I checked the factory AC fuse and it appears good. Any other thoughts? I seem to recall some systems having a low pressure switch, and while I haven’t checked the refrigerant levels in the system, is there a chance it could be low enough to trigger a low pressure switch? Would this stop the entire system, or just the compressor?

Is there a relay somewhere that I’m missing? Is there a test for the fan switch? Thanks in advance for your help!!
