If you ground the same Blu/Red wire at the rear of the heater control panel, does the A/C again turn on and blow cold?

The diagram is for a Civic. Maybe the Del Sol is similar?

If the A/C works, the heater control panel is bad. If it doesn't work, the A/C thermostat may be bad, but more tests would be needed to verify.

No. The A/C thermostat plugs into the evaporator behind the glove box.

Do the first test and go from there. In the meantime, you could also test whether the A/C turns on when you ground the Yel/Wht wire in the A/C thermostat connector.
