Default AC not working

Still trying to figure out whats going on..

94 vette AC button not flashing, I get no cool air, compressor not spinning. I jumped the low pressure switch connector and I got no compressor engaging either

I check the pressure with the compressor not spinning and I am at 90 +- psi...

What should I check next?

first check and see if it has any codes such as low freon. If not, then refer to the service manual for diagnosis. If you don't have the manual it will be a crap shoot trying to isolate the problem.

Fuses, then see if you have power at the A/C clutch when you push A/C on. Is this a auto C68 system or the manual system?

If you turn on the system, no lights flash on it, correct?

Hit the defrost button, A/C should kick in, fans on.

Like I said, start with fuses, then check connector at A/C clutch for power/ground. Should be a two pin connector.

Also, check for power at the Pressure cycling switch-low pressure.

ECM controls A/C Clutch Relay, you could try jumping pins 87/30 of it and it should run with fuse ok, and key on.

I'm basing this on 93 stuff, but 94 should (is) similar.
