Default K20a2 in an Ek... AC hook up question?

I bought the hybrid racing conversion harness and ac kit. The question is... How to hook it up. I did what hybrid says on their site but nothing is getting cold. I charged it and everything turns on but it is still blowing regular air.... Any help would be appreciated!

Has the system been evacuated, leak tested, and charged with the correct amount of refrigerant? Does the condenser fan run? Does the compressor clutch engage? Does the A/C button light up when pressed?

I never evact it. The condenser fan and clutch turns on and the ac button does light up..

How much refrigerant did you add? Failing to evacuate the system means there's air and water mixed with the refrigerant - recipe for A/C disaster. The air abnormally increases pressure in the system and the water moisture reacts chemically with the refrigerant to produce hydrochloric acid. I think you can guess what hydrochloric acid does to A/C internals.

Thanks for the advice! I'll have my friend evac my system and see how that goes.
