Default ZC engine swap with climate control problem

I've got a 89 ZC engine in a 88 HF, and no defrost or air blowing in the cab. I pulled the climate control panel and it's busted right in half. I'm hoping all I need is a new control panel but I have the feeling that the wiring wasnt done right. I bought the car after the motor swap and dont know where to look to see if the wiring is bad. I know that all the fuses are good and the panel (when it was installed) light up and I could here the motor inside the dash churn when I switched from panel to floor to defrost, but like I said no air is coming out so I know its got something to do with the blower.

Can someone please help me with this before the cold gets here and I dont have a car to drive?

Also if anyone has a new climate control panel for sale or knows where to get one please let me know. I've checked at the local Honda dealers and they quoted $320 to $360.

Thanks to everyone and I will be endebted to you if you can help me.

I've checked on ebay and the climate control panels goes for around $150, +/- $20. I really hate to buy one if mine isnt bad but I'm not sure on how to check to see if the blower is getting any power.

Does anyone know how to check to see if the blower motor might be bad? I've got a ohmeter but just dont know which wire is hot and which is ground. I want to check to see if the blower is even getting power.

thanks
