Default 1984 Disconnected wires?

I'm trying to get my '84 back into daily driving condition. I have found several disconnected wires/connectors. Can you guys help me figure out what has been disconnected in the pictures below and whether they are important or not?

The top picture is of the AC pressure sensor, that connects behind the rear of the compressor on the block connecting the 2 hoses, your middle finger is almost touching it, looks like yours snapped off just like my dad did to mine when he leaned on the engine helping me one day



The other connection appears to be the one for the smog pump relay, but can't tell for sure.



The other pictures do not appear to be stock wiring, looks like an add on. Tho the dark wire with large terminal appears to be the ground that goes above the battery in the triangle space of the 1" square tubing above the cruise control servo, I'd have to get a picture of the spot on mine after work to show you, I'm on nightshift at the moment tho

Thanks for the info. That might be a partial explanation for why my a/c and cruise control have never worked. I guess I need to connect that red wire to power and see if anything starts working that hasn't been. The car has a parasitic battery drain and the fan never kicks on. I think I have quite a bit of wire tracing in my future.

Power to the fan comes off a small lead branch directly from the the main battery cable, right by the battery
