Start with the thermal limit fuse. It should be sitting near the compressor. Black plastic and square.

The low pressure switch will be in the line leading to the drier (sits directly above drier). You can bypass this and with the car off turn on the AC. You should hear the clutch kick in if wiring/fuses are good.
