Help! Smelfsh!  I feel so dumb! I found thevreal problem - took 60 seconds
to fix it. Now have supremely good air conditioning.

The story:  three same size wires, all three with solid red insulation.

Wire one - a red wire that comes off the alternator b+  to the 50 amp
fusable link in the "D" pillar - supplies power to the AC system.

Wire 2: a red wire that is attached to the terminal of the fuseable link -
gets power direct from Alternator.

Wire 3: a red wire on the battery "+" terminal connected to Alternator 'B"
terminal, thus keeping it hot so windings  inside will help generate the
fields to produce power.

Ac system NOT getting power through fuseable link. Nothing runs! What the
heck!

Looks like all wires are intact. I start moving wires - and to my chagrin,
 Low and behold a black wrapped sheathed red wire end pops out from under
the firewall fixed with a copper fitting - as if to say "I.m ready! Problem
solved:
