Default need help identifying wires

on the pass. side of my 70 there are some wires not connected. one is a medium gauge green wire with plug connector on it and a short black wire comming out of the connector. the next is a blue wire and a black wire comming out of the wiring harness near the wiper motor. the last one is green wire near what is left of the old a/c unit. I'm thinking A/c wires or temp.sending wires any help would be great . Thanks
the wiper motor is working

The single green wire near the a/c pump is definitely the compressor wire.
Are some of the other wires up near the wiper door actuator?

The blue wire near the wiper motor sounds like one of the connections for the windshield washer pump, and the black is probably the wiper motor ground.

The connector with the green wire and the short black wire with connector sounds like the connection for the a/c pump thermal limiter switch. The short black wire would connect to the super heat switch on the back of the a/c compressor.

If you have a digital camera, post some pics for a more accurate identification.
