Many guys have A/C with the 3800SC. The PCM controls the A/C on these systems and takes inputs and sends outsputs to run the system. Its a matter of adding a three wire refrigerent pressure sensor to the highside line ( inpuits fed to PCM) , feeding the A/C request signal into the PCM, and taking the A/C relay signal from the PCM that switches in the A/C relay which in turn energizes the compressor clutch.
As soon as we get the current project car out of my garage I'll be starting my A/C systrem. If all the rules are followed it shouldn't be a problem.

You need the Fiero,drivers side AC end and the 3800 AC end.Both are combined into one,useing a new hose (you will need to measure and give your self a couple of inches extra for error),some AC shops can do this or a hydrolic shop can do this.Loyde of Fast Fieros can allso do this.

apparently you have to add in a T on the high pressure side to add in the sensor/switch to prevent high pressures or compressor activation with no pressure
