Re: troubleshooting a/c
Since the compressor clutch is activating, the ECU and A/C control are communicating. I suspect you simply have a loose or crimped wire somewhere in the vicinity of the aftermarket radio diddling.
You're gonna hate doing it, but the best recourse is end-to-end continuity testing of all relevant wires in the harness that run between the A/C control and the blower--and that likely means removing the radio, at least for the time being. You'll need to get access to--and remove--the harness connector at the blower housing as well as the harness connector in back of the A/C control (that's what "end-to-end" means).
I recommend you borrow or purchase a multimeter that includes 1) back-probes, and 2) an audible continuity test feature; and...
I strongly recommend you reference the Blower Motor Circuit Troubleshooting procedure printed in the '97 Accord Honda Service Manual (the procedure may be similar for other model years).

Re: troubleshooting a/c
Did the fan speed connector pop off above the radio? or pull on the blower motor wires?
If the fan speed selector switch is engaged and the A/C clicks, back probe the fan by the passenger feet. See if there is 12volts on the DVOM. Fan could be dead.
