High and low side switch for the ac.. The low side sender if right next to the heater box on the bottom of the aluminum tube. Take the jusmper out and hook the switches back up. If no AC try a new switch on the low side and if that does not fix it get it rechagred. Do not run with the jumper in the low side it is there to save the compressor if you are low on ac charge.. Mine was jumpered as wel when I got my 91 last November..

the threaded port right below your thumb is supposed to have switch on it and one of those plugs fit it.

Bought mine at NAPA around 15 or 20 bucks.. Low side compreesor switch or high pressure switch depending on which one you think is broken. You can change it without losing any gas there is a schrader valve under the switch.

yes and I think own the only 1991 corvette that is registered in romania and the chevrolet service shops here dont even know how to repair it, so I do it myself, it cost me a lot of money and time getting all the parts from us and becouse I'm not a mechanic, but have technical skils, I try to get the car in a good working condition with the help of this community

Hmmmm, then I guess Napa is out of the question ... But hey welcome to the forums. They helped me a lot too since I didn't know a thing about a vette that I am restoring.
