Just swapped, can't get my A/C working.

Okay, I don't even have the truck on the road yet, but I live in South Florida, so I want it to work. The truck was a 93 2wd.with a 4.3. I put a carbed 327 in it, and used the whole pulley system off the 4.3. The blower comes on, the vents and zones work perfectly, and It has freon in the system. When I pulled the old 4.3 i just moved the compressor to the side. I turn it on but the clutch wont engage. I bypassed the low pressure switch on the accumulator and it still wont go.. What might i be missing? I am getting power to the low pressure switch. I also noticed two plugs on the compressor which i have never seen before. One on the front by the clutch, and another close to where the lines come in? Anyone tell me what that is? I hope I didn't cut any necessary wiring out when i did the swap.. Any help you guys can give, thanks
