I have and "85" Shelby Charger. I am working on re-installing the air con system. When checking the wiring diagrams in my "86" FSM it shows a wide open throttle switch. I don't recall ever seeing a WOTS on my "85", or even any related wiring harness or bracketry on my original T-1 turbo setup. Is it possible that the 85's didn't have one? As far as using my system without the switch would it be sufficient to just turn off the A/C before having fun.
Also, I noticed that the plug on the compressor harness has a diode across the pins, I'm thinking mine had that and when I cut the plug off the harness long ago I saved it and put it somewhere but god only knows where. What watt is that diode and why is it there? How is it installed relative to how it functions?
