Default A/C Compressor Relay??

The A/C on my 71 stopped working today. The fan blower works but the compressor has stopped kicking on.

I have diagnoisised and found that there is no power getting to the compressor. So...I'm guessing I have a blown fuse or relay.

I can't find a fuse for the A/C compressor. Is there a relay or something? If so...where is it located?

I really need some help with this. I'd like to get it working again this weekend if possible.

Doesn't anyone know where the fuse or relay for the A/C compressor can be found? I've looked everywhere but I can't locate it.

Is there a pressure switch on the A/C line that won't let the compressor run if the freon gets too low?

68-72 had a ambient temperature switch located in the main box. If you have power on the tan wire with the a/c on, jumper the tan to the green and see if your compressor kicks on. (wire color may be different, dark green and tan in the 1970 schematic below).
