    A/C not working? help!

    I recently finished a 5.0 swap in my 93 Explorer. Now, I can't seem to get the Air Conditioner to work. ALL components are brand new and from the factory 4.0, so I didn't change anything in the A/C system. The Fan blows inside and the A/C light turns on but is not cold. If I run test leads...
