You'll likely have to charge it, paper clip time- it clutch won't activate if there isn't enough freon-secondary purpose of the switch, it also turns off the AC compressor after use since lower pressure= lower temps so it thinks everything is cold- when temps climb, pressure increases and there you go, compressor . I just hope it isn't clogged somewhere else. See how it behaves, I guess.

On a simple system I haven't ripped apart- when it's warmer out, I pop on AC on Max with recirc, put thermostat in the vent, charge it till I get between 45-50 degrees. revving engine to ensure it's pressurizing. Anything cooler than that the evaporator ices up and you're SOL for a bit.

EDIT: charge with paperclip jumper over low pressure switch, that's how you get it to start accepting freon....

Crude, but effective.
