Default 96 Honda Civic DX A/c Install Help

Hello all,
thankyou for taking the time out to read this hopefully you can help. i have a 96 Civic DX came from the factory with no A/C installed. Living In Cali it gets hot i found the parts to install everything but the electrical is whats confusing me? i dont know where to plug in the low pressure switch and also the a/c control inside the car came with no "green" light A/c Button ima have to rig one up? to send a signal to the compressor clutch to engage correct? does the ECU have any plug ins for this? im jus wondering because if i can tap the low pressure switch into the ecu somewhere that would help. tell me your opinions anything is welcome.

Thankyou,
Mike V

I am not sure if this helps, but there are two sub-harness's for Air conditioning. One that goes towards the driver side shock tower that the compressor/ condensor connect to and one under the dash which also has the heater core wiring/ controls connected to it.

Yes this does help!! I managed to get the inside hooked up, but the "One that goes towards the driver side shock tower that the compressor/ condensor connect to" i do not have and i would like to know where i can hook it up? i know its just a 12 Volt signal to engage the clutch on the a/c compressor but i dont know where to plug it in to since my car didnt have a/c stock? also the low pressure switch on top of the drier where can i tap that into?
Help? please..

if you pop the cover off the a/c switch location and bend the led up you can install a switch from another climate control it jush pushes in
