Default Air conditioner help!

Hi guys, Need some guidance. My a/c clutch will not engage when the switch is turned on. I have checked the fuse, and it is ok. There is no power to the compressor. What should I check next?

if the freon is low the compressor will not run. Hook a gauge up and see if it charges.

Yep, probably low pressure.
A little research shows you have a 79.
There is a low pressure switch(far right center in the pic, green wires) that you can unplug and jump the wire contacts to TEST the compressor operation.
