Thank you all for your replies,
I had a look earlier this week on Griffith's website looking for conversion kits but didn't notice their help section, very informative.
After a deeper look this morning, what I thought to be the thermoswitch is actually the high/low pressure switch, located on top of the dryer can, the circuit staying open, I don't know if it's because of a lack of gas or the switch itself. By bypassing the switch I got the clutch to engage properly and it seems to make a bit of cold ( I run it at 2000 rpm for a few mins).
As there is still some gas in it after many years ( didn't find in the invoices any related to recharging of gas in the last 20 years). I guess the gas circuit is ok.
In any case I need to change the dryer can, it is awfully rusty and the switch cannot be trusted. I will then go for a conversion kit ( seals, new oil and dryer) and get it refilled. Hopefully, that might get it to work fine.
My other concerns I still couldn't find any answers for are these wires and relays issues. Where should they be? . I found a picture of a smuggler's box with a relay in it, I guess this is where they belong to, but what about the wires, which path do they follow from the pressure switch to the clutch?
