Can I run a toggle switch to my a/c compressor?

Same as title.

The Ford factory conector that plugs into the compressor is gone. Would it be easier for me to run a toggle switch for the a/c or do I have to purchase a new harness? When I purchased the car the a/c system was removed.

I just purchased a complete a/c system from another fox stang and I want to install it this weekend.

What do you suggest?

I would go with the harness. If you bypass the low pressure switch, you could ruin the compressor if the freon gets low. Plus, you want it to work when in the defrost mode too.

Thanks,

I get the harness then.
